Throughout Utility Cloud on different pages, users can review audits and add notes to alert other users in their billing account.
Timelines
You can find timelines on each of the below pages where you can review and add relevant information for yourself and other users.
Asset Details
Every asset has its own timeline on the Asset Details page.
From here, you can add a note to your asset and view or reply to other user's notes. You can also view any timeline entry generated by an asset or workflow trigger.
You can set any timeline entry as a warning so that it will show on the asset's card in the Asset Search's results:
Security Rights Required: View Assets
Work Order Details
Like assets, every work order has a timeline to view and add comments on the Work Order Details page. Audits for creating and editing work orders, unlike most audits in Utility Cloud, will show in the work order timeline instead of the audit trail.
Security Rights Required: View Work Order Details
Route Details
The timeline for any route shows on the Route Details and like the work order timeline shows audits for that route and any of its work order's audits.
Security Rights Required: View Routes
Account Details
The timeline for any account on the Account Details allows viewing, adding, and commenting on notes. No audits or other automatically generated timeline entries show on the account timeline.
Security Rights Required: View Accounts
Adding, editing, and deleting notes
You can add a note to any asset, work order, route, or account you normally have access to and edit or delete your own notes, but unless you have the specific security rights to do so you can't edit or delete other user's notes. All notes or replies can be plain text or include a photo, an attachment, or a link to another website.
Adding a note or reply
From any timeline, select one of the below icons to create the appropriate type of note.
Select to add a standard text note.
Select to add a photo note, then select Browse to choose a photo.
Select to add an attachment note, then select Browse to choose an attachment.
Select to add a link with your note, then enter the website's url.
Enter a title for your note's subject and description for your note's body, then select Save. Your note must have a title but description is not required.
If you want to flag your note as a warning on an asset, then before saving select the dropdown at the upper right of your entry and mark as a warning:
