How do I add the Find Nearby Inventory action to parts details page?

Mobile Workers can find out the availability of an item with any of the nearby mobile workers. You must first configure the context layout of the Part details page to display the Find Nearby Inventory action on the Parts details page.

The Find Nearby Inventory option is available based on these rules:
  1. The Find Nearby link is active ONLY if these conditions are true:

    • Collaboration is enabled and configured for the user type and user.

    • User location information is available and the location permission given in the browser.

    • Nearby resources are available for the current user and at least one nearby user is online.

    • Nearby action link is added to the Part Details context for the user.

    • User activated the route.

    • A parts catalog item is mapped to an existing inventory type. For example: the inventory type label defined as 'IN'.

    • The mapped inventory type must have a Model Property assigned, which should be a String Text Inventory Property or any text string property.

    • Add inventories to the resource with the specified inventory type 'IN' and set the String Text Inventory Property value to match the parts catalog label name. This means the string text inventory property value should be the same as the parts catalog item label.

    • Requested Part Catalog is already assigned to the User Types.

  2. The Find Nearby Inventory tab shows the number of users who hold this inventory within 50 miles distance from the resource.

  3. The Find Nearby Inventory tab displays the travel duration only if these conditions are true:

    • Your company has a subscription to Oracle Fusion Field Service Enterprise edition with Google Maps.

    • You have enabled the Enable Real Time Traffic check box on the User Types page.

To add the Nearby Inventory action to the Parts details page:

  1. Click Configuration.
  2. Click User Types.
  3. Open the Screens tab.
  4. In the Inventory section, click Parts details.
    The Parts details context layout structure appears.
