Activity and Resource Hints

A hint is displayed when you hover over an activity or a resource and it provides contextual links to relevant pages. In an activity hint you can include links to activity-related pages such as Activity details and action pages such as Start activity and Suspend activity. Similarly, in a resource hint, you can include links to resource-related pages such as Add activity, Activate route, Assign to team, Resource calendar, Work Skills, Work Zones, and Location. Your administrator configures the links on activity and resource hints.

Activity and resource hints appear and behave the same way throughout the application. After your administrator configures the hints, regardless of the page on which the hints are displayed, the same configuration is applicable. The links that are configured to display on the hints display at the bottom of the hint on all the pages.

Activity hints in Dispatch Console show a small map view of the location, if available. The Show Non-scheduled and Show Scheduled links are shown only in hints within the Dispatch Console. They are not shown in hints on the other pages.

On small screens, activity hints opened from Search results are displayed in the full-screen view, similar to the way it is displayed when opened from the Dispatch Console.

Information on the resource hint is displayed in the time zone of the resource this hint belongs to. For information about the time zone for the activity hint, see the Time Zone Settings topic.
