    Printing a work order with a customer phone number

    We have been customizing our printable work orders, but we cannot get the customer phone numbers to insert any which way.  How do we link the customer phone numbers from the customer table to the work order being printed?

    Answer

    Hi there,

    To add the customer phone number the field will have to be available on the screen or report you are working with. Assuming we are talking about either the Work Order screen or FieldService_WorkOrder report they are both built based on the Activity table. The customer phone number can be added as a linked field to the Activity table.

    In Method, open the Activity table and add a linked field using EntityRef. Adding phone to the table will make it available to on the WorkOrder screen and/or WorkOrder report.

    Hope this helps,

    I am currentl;y only able to select Entity (not EntityRef) in the Activity table, and my entered linked field is not showing up in the Layout Designer, also is there an easy way to refresh the Layout Designer or should it refresh itself in real time automatically? currently closing the file and reopening to check.
