Resumen del artículo

Use the Issue screen to view, create, or update issues. When you update an issue, you typically add a comment to document steps taken to address the issue. You may also update other issue fields.

Aspire sends email notifications whenever you create or update an issue. These emails include a history of changes made, except for non-public comments, which are excluded from emails sent to customers.

Recipients of Email Notifications:

  • Property Account Owner (excluded if this person made the update).
  • Property Operations Manager (excluded if this person made the update).
  • Contacts listed in the Assigned To field (if not the updater).
  • Property Primary Contact (if Include Client is selected).
  • Branch Manager (when the issue is created in Aspire Mobile).
Note: 
Issues can also be created and updated from Crew Mobile. Email notifications for issues created or updated in Crew Mobile are never sent to the customer – only to employees and contractors. Additionally, the notifications for issues created or updated in Crew Mobile are sent to the route manager.

The Issue screen can be displayed from the following locations in Aspire:

  • By clicking Quick Menu on the Toolbar.  
  • From the Activity Search List screen by selecting the (New Issue) option or by clicking an existing issue in the search list.
  • From the Work Ticket screen, select (New Issue) in the Activities section of the Work Ticket detail page. 
  • From the Properties screen, select (New Issue) in the Activities section of a Property details page.
  •  From the Opportunity screen, select (New Issue) in the Activities section of an Opportunity details page.

The following table describes the screen elements.

Screen ElementDescription
Assigned ToThis multi-select box allows you to choose multiple contacts associated with the issue. Typically, assigned employee contacts will have responsibility for addressing the issue, whereas assigned customer contacts will be stakeholders interested in having the issue resolved. Assigning the issue to a contact makes the issue available in the Activities List on the Contact screen for that contact. It causes an email to be sent to you each time the issue is updated, except for you, who is updating the issue. See the Public checkbox description below for more information. The assignment can also filter the Activities search list based on the Assigned to Contact field.
RegardingThis combo box allows you to associate a property, opportunity, or work ticket with the issue. If you choose one of these, the issue will also be available from the More Activities on the appropriate Property, Opportunity, or Work Ticket screen. Once you have entered a value into this field, an icon is displayed identifying the type of entity you have chosen: Property, Opportunity, or Work Ticket. Additionally, a pinpoint will appear. Clicking this displays a Google map pinpointing the location of the associated property.
PriorityThis drop-down list allows you to specify a priority for the issue. The priority can be specified as High, Normal, or Low.
SubjectAllows you to specify the subject of the issue. You can type any text into the field. Additionally, Aspire allows you to insert expandable tokens that are replaced by appropriate values when you save the issue. Note that the available tokens are different depending on whether you have selected a property, opportunity, or work ticket in the Regarding field. Expandable tokens are only available if a value has been provided in the Regarding field.
Due DateAllows you to specify a date by which the issue is expected to be fully addressed. You can enter a value directly into the field or use the Date icon immediately to the right of the field to select a value.
CategoryProvides a drop-down list allowing you to select a category for the activity. You define the valid activity categories on the Admin List Activity Category screen. Some common categories include Phone Calls, QA, Letters, To Do, Service Requests, Complaints, Property Damage, Email, and Injury.
Include ClientWhen you enable the Include Client checkbox, an email will be sent to the primary contact for the property associated with the Regarding field each time the issue is updated. Note that the issue will not be available in the Activities List on the Contact screen for the primary contact of the associated property unless that person is also included in the Assigned To field of the Issue screen.
Opportunity HyperlinkIssues may result in creating a work ticket to address the issue. If no work order has been created for the issue, a hyperlink displays as “Create New Opportunity….” Clicking this hyperlink initiates the creation of an opportunity in the same manner as if you created an opportunity from the Property screen. For this hyperlink to function, a property, opportunity, or work ticket must be selected in the Regarding field. The new opportunity will be created based on the property determined from the value in the Regarding field.
Notes

RTF field that allows you to add a note to the issue. When you enter a note and click Save, the note gets added to the list of notes shown at the bottom of the Issue screen.

Aspire allows you to insert expandable tokens replaced by appropriate values when you save the issue.

Expandable tokens are only available if a value has been provided in the Regarding field.
