Details Tab
The Details tab allows the user to make final notes about a task, capture their own signature and capture client name, emails and signature to record completion of the task.
This tab contains one screen. This screen is known as the Details screen.
Even after the data has been saved to the cloud the data is still editable and updated data may be saved over existing data.

Details screen in detail
This screen allows the user to record the final information for the selected task. By default, the Details tab is set to mandatory completion and the Details screen cannot save information until there is data in the Technician Signature drawing box. This means that the user must sign on this screen and save the data before the Status of the task can be set to Complete.
Optionally the user can also record actions taken, close the entire case of tasks if necessary and record the name, email address and signature of the customer representative.
