SAP Work Manager can be deployed by embedding a two-way map interface inside SAP Work Manager providing spatial context to SAP-PM work orders, notifications, operations, equipment and functional location using the OpenUI framework that is part of SMP3.0.
To provide the simplest possible workflows for end users, a map is embedded within Work Manager 6.1., this allows an end user to see work orders and notifications on a map, without leaving Work Manager.
From within Work Manager, the user can
- locate themselves on a map, using GPS
- view the GIS network representation of a SAP-PM technical object on a map
- view a work order (via linked technical object) on a map
- view a notification (via linked technical object) on a map
- get turn-by-turn offline directions to an object on the map
- create redlines, linked to a notification. These can be viewed in the office later.
- select a GIS object and create a work order or notification on that SAP technical object
- select a GIS object and list work orders or notifications related to that technical object
The embedded map contains a high quality base map plus any other layers such as electricity or gas network that have been extracted from the utility’s GIS or other authorities.
Having all this data local to the device allows the map to continue to fully function when the device is offline.
Two-way on-line map integration is achieved by embedding the map inside SAP-PM and SAP-MRS.
