FSM Mobile Task Status Updates Based on Start and End Fields
FSM Mobile now updates task status using Field Service Start and End fields in NetSuite 2026.2, enhancing task management efficiency.
TL;DR: In NetSuite 2026.2, FSM Mobile determines task status based on the Field Service Start (custevent_nx_task_start) and Field Service End (custevent_nx_task_end) fields, streamlining task management for users.
What Changed in Task Status Management?
Starting in NetSuite 2026.2, the FSM Mobile application dynamically assesses and updates task status based on the following field values:
| Status | Condition |
|---|---|
| Not Started | Displays when both custevent_nx_task_start and custevent_nx_task_end fields are blank. |
| In Progress | Displays when only the custevent_nx_task_start is populated. |
This enhancement allows field service personnel to have clear visibility regarding the status of their tasks, which can improve workflow and productivity in field operations.
