Initiate a Chat in Collaboration

Before you can begin, your administrator must have already configured your user type and assigned you to a collaboration group or help desk. This ensures you have the necessary permissions and visibility to communicate with other users:

  1. Signin to Oracle Fusion Field Service and tap the Collaboration chat icon icon that represents Collaboration.
    • In the web application, the icon appears in the top-right corner. In the mobile app, it is available on the main toolbar.
  2. Click start chat (Start new conversation) icon and choose to start a one-on-one or group chat.
  3. Select a contact or group:
    • One-on-one chat: Use the Search field to find a specific user and select their name from the list.
    • Group message: Tap Group Message. You can select recipients from your Collaboration Groups or Visible Resources.
    • Help desk: For issues requiring help from a specific department, select the appropriate help desk from the list.
  4. Send your message:
    • After selecting your contact or group, the chat window opens.
    • Type your message in the text box.
    • Press Enter or tap the Send icon to send your message.
  5. When prompted, allow permissions for notifications and network access.
    Tip:
    • Enabling push notifications allows you to receive new Collaboration messages even when the app runs in the background.
    • Maintaining an active internet connection ensures that messages and job updates sync in real time.
  6. Keep your mobile app up to date.
    Tip: Updating the app regularly ensures continued access to the latest Collaboration features and fixes.
