Time Tab Enhancements in FSM Mobile for NetSuite 2026.1

TL;DR: The Time tab in Field Service Management (FSM) Mobile, introduced in NetSuite 2026.1, enables technicians to efficiently record actions and the time spent on each task. This enhancement streamlines task tracking and management in the mobile environment.

Overview of the Time Tab

The Time tab consists of two main screens:

• Time Item List Screen: This screen displays a list of actions already recorded for the selected task. If no time items exist, users will be redirected to the Add/Edit/Delete Time Item screen to input their first record.
• Add/Edit/Delete Time Item Screen: This screen allows for the addition of new time logs as well as editing or deleting existing entries.

Once time entries are saved, they can be updated until the task's Status is marked as Complete, providing flexibility in tracking and documenting time spent on tasks.

How Time Tracking Works

1. Accessing the Time Tab: When opening an assigned task in FSM Mobile, navigate to the Time tab.
2. Entering Time Details: Use the Add/Edit/Delete Time Item screen to add new time records, specifying actions taken and durations.
3. Editing Time Records: After saving, you can still modify existing time items unless the task is completed, ensuring accurate logging.

Who This Affects

• Technicians: Directly benefit from more efficient logging of actions and time.
• Field Service Managers: Will have improved oversight on task completion and time management.
• Administrators: May need to adjust training or documentation to encompass the changes in FSM Mobile.

Key Takeaways

• The Time tab now consists of two interactive screens for enhanced usability.
• Technicians can log and manage time entries until task completion, promoting accurate record-keeping.
• Improved task tracking supports better operational efficiency in the field.
