New order list – Setting for alternative use
Background
In version 2.19 of Handyman Mobile, we introduced a new way of displaying orders and tasks in the same list. That is, all tasks on all orders were displayed. In addition, we changed the appearance somewhat and moved the date information at the top and various signaling with icons to the right of the items in the list. The quick menu for each line also gives options to quickly register material and time directly from the list instead of first going into the order menu as before. In addition, stricter rules were introduced for closing orders with multiple tasks from the planner.
After the launch, we received feedback from some of our customers that they do not want to see all the tasks from the planner in the list together with the orders but instead want to see the order list as before, with one item per order.
Based on this, we have added a new option so that users who only want to see one item per order in the list can choose to do so:
• In the list, there is a menu (three dots) at the top right where you can choose various settings for what information should be displayed in the list and how it should be grouped.
Here, a new option has been added: you can choose to see only one item per order, and an explanation of what this means has been added.
When you select "Show only one entry per order," this will change how Handyman Mobile displays the list and the way tasks are handled:
- Only orders are shown in the list, one row per order, as in previous versions
- If there are several tasks for the participant, you can see and change these under "All tasks" inside the individual order, as in previous versions.
- As in previous versions, the dates shown in the order list are from the lowest scheduled start time to the latest scheduled finish time for the participant.
- Personal appointments are not in the list but can be viewed in "Calendar," which is activated from the main menu. Personal appointments can be created and changed here and are visible to those who schedule in Handyman Office.
- As in previous versions, all unfinished tasks will automatically end when you finish the order.
The main menu will show "Orders" instead of "My tasks" with associated signaling and quantity.
We believe these changes will meet the need for flexibility in using Handyman in a way that suits your everyday life.
Fill out the checklist and service forms from history in Service module orders.
Checklist points and service tasks may now have an option to allow copying from history. With one click, you can fill the checklist or service form with values from the previous visit.
First, you'll need to fetch the history for the checklist (Connected to the same equipment in the service module) or service form. (This is done automatically if the service form has points with reference values)
Then, from the page menu, you can fill in the fields that you are allowed to copy from.

Version 2.19.1
2.19.1 - 31.10.2024
The new updated list gives a better overview in Handyman
Handyman has traditionally had two lists of jobs: an order list and a task list.
The order list shows all orders assigned to me that were not planned with the Handyman Resource Planner. The second is a task list, where a task has been assigned to me in the Resource Planner.
Many customers have used both lists at the same time. When there is no need for planning, an order is created, and I am a participant on it for its entire lifetime. Other jobs require more detailed planning, with several visits via the Resource Planner.
The new list combines the order and "My tasks" lists, giving you a better overview of all your planned activities. We have also made registering hours, materials, and checklists quicker. The changes will benefit all mobile users, especially those who use Handyman Resource Planner.
Over the last 3-4 Handyman Office updates, we have introduced important improvements to Handyman Resource Planner to help users work more efficiently. In this release, we are introducing these improvements to mobile users.
For Handyman Resource Planner users, the list is now called "My Tasks" and combines the orders and planned tasks on the orders.
For those who do not use the Resource Planner, the list is still called "Orders." You will see an updated layout of the Orders list with some revised functionality.
Benefits
- Better organized information in the list
- Save time by making faster registrations directly from the list
- It is easy to view and change task status directly from the list
New list – important elements
The new list is rearranged to give a better overview of important information. The date and time for the task are shown on top, and a warning icon is shown if the task is overdue. Other important icons are displayed to the right. The task menu (... dots to the right on each element) has new functions for quicker registrations.
In previous lists, we could have just two buttons. The types of buttons visible depended on the license and settings. To make important functions more accessible, the buttons are replaced by a popup menu button with up to five visible items.
Task menu - quicker registrations
The task menu has been reorganized for quicker access to important functions.
- Quickly add hours, material and edit checklists
- Change task status at the top of the menu
