Track Follow-Ups
Assign follow-ups when filling out a form, then run status reports to what is still open. The system automatically sends the assignee an alert plus an open-task.
Assign Follow-Ups
Within any iScout form, there is a "more" button to the right side of each question which allows you to add additional notes, attachments, and assign follow-ups. You can also add a follow-up question to the form itself and make it required for your team to fill out. Each report may have any number of follow-ups.
Once a follow-up is assigned, it will automatically email and/or send a push notification to the assignee informing them of their new assignment. The system will also create a follow-up task in their open-task list leaving them one-click away from quickly marking the issue resolved.
Follow-Up Due Date
Team members can also assign due dates for follow-ups. Once an open follow-up meets its due date, it will become "overdue" and will show in red on the open-task list. The follow-up status report will highlight overdue items for easy visibility.
Resolving Follow-Ups
Once the assignee clicks the follow-up task, it will take them to a split-screen page where they can view the report and mark the follow-up as closed. You can also allow (or require) team members to attach photos or sign the resolved follow-up. Alternatively, the assignee may re-assign the follow-up to another team member with a note. The entire assignment, message, attachment, and signature history for the follow-up can be viewed within the form response.
Follow-Up Tracking
Run a follow-up status report at any time to see which issues are open, closed, or over-due. Administrators can also setup a scheduled report to receive open follow-up reports daily/weekly/etc.
