We are looking to utilize iiQ Facilities in our bus depot. One request we’ve had from the mechanics is mileage tracking for each school bus. They normally manually track the mileage weekly and we are looking for the most streamlined way to accomplish this in iiQ. Our thoughts right now are to use automated ticket templates that fire every Friday.

Is there a way to trigger rules on resolution actions in a way that takes the notes into account? For example, using a “Update Mileage” resolution action and writing the mileage in the notes of the action which would trigger a rule to update a custom field on the bus linked to the ticket.

In general we would like to reduce the time navigating through iiQ for our mechanics especially on tasks that have to be done for an entire bus fleet. Manually editing each bus asset to change the custom field across the entire fleet every week seems like more work than it's worth for them compared to what they’re doing now.

We’re open to any suggestions on how we can best accomplish this.

Thanks for the post and the detailed example. 

Currently, our rules engine rule does not set a value on an asset custom field. This would be a great idea in our idea exchange.

Vehicles as assets and rules for tickets generated based on custom field values being met sounds like great ideas but not sure if it counts as the same idea or a separate one from this.

 

Custom fields as filters for rules triggering on a schedule would also be helpful.
