If an appointment is assigned to a Crew, who is responsible for starting and completing the work?
In Zoho FSM, when a Service Appointment is assigned to a Crew, any Crew member can initiate and complete the work using the mobile app.
There is no individual task-level assignment within a Crew. All members of the Crew have shared access to the appointment and can:
- Start the appointment
- Perform or update any Service or Service Task
- Mark individual Service or Service Task as completed, partially completed, or reschedule them
- Complete the Service Appointment
- Collect payments (except users with the Limited Field Agent profile)
Example:
Service Appointment: HVAC Inspection & AC Filter Replacement
Crew:
- Crew member 1 - James Venera
- Crew member 2 - Elijah Green
Service 1: AC Inspection & Diagnosis (SVC-90)
- Service Task 1 - Thermostat Check
- Service Task 2 - Airflow Inspection
- Service Task 3 - Refrigerant Check
- Service Task 4 - Electrical Inspection
Service 2: AC Filter Replacement (SVC-91)
- Service Task 1 - Remove Old Filter
- Service Task 2 - Clean Filter Compartment
- Service Task 3 - Install New Filter
- Service Task 4 - Airflow Test

In this case,
- Let's assume, James performs tasks from Service 1, while Elijah handles Service 2.
- Each field agent can start work independently on any Service Line Item or Task.
- When a field agent taps Start Work(for Service line item or Service Task), an individual Timesheet entry is created.
- Timesheets the user started appear under My Entries.

- Timesheets started by other Crew members appear under All Entries.

- Even if Crew member 1 starts a Service Task, Crew member 2 can mark it as Completed, or choose to Reschedule it.
