FSM Mobile doesn't include all Field Service administration or scheduling features. In most implementations, technicians can't perform advanced actions such as scheduling or dispatching work, reassigning tasks, or performing other office-based controls. Dispatchers, managers, or other staff usually perform such actions in NetSuite using the FSM Schedule Board or the NetSuite user interface.
Single Sign-On (SSO) isn't currently supported for FSM Mobile.
