When the Create Case form is accessed from the Settings menu, there is no automatic association with a System Element. System Element is an optional field within the Create Case form.

Please be advised, or reminded, that when in Construction Mode, Job Connect will only download Case records which have System Element association.

    • Item List View (JCC) - The Item List Panel has two locations where Cases can be created: the Status list panel and the Issues list panel. A User must have a System Element selected in order to create an Issue/Case using either. Without a System Element selected, Job Connect will alert the User that, "No System Elements Selected - Please select at least one system element to create an issue".
      • Status List Panel
        1. Select Status from the top of the Item List panel. 
        2. Select one or more System Elements from the drawing or from the Item List available, keeping in mind that if multiple System Elements are selected the same amount of Cases will be created. (Ex. If four system elements are selected then you will need to repeat steps 4 and 5 for each System Element).
        3. Select Create Issue at the bottom of the Status list panel. 
        4. Select an Issue Type from the list according to your needs. 
        5. See the Completing the Create Case Form section below for additional guidance.

        3. Select Create Issue at the bottom of the Issues list panel. 
        4. Select an Issue Type from the list according to your needs. 
        5. Fill out the rest of the Create Case form according to the Completing the Create Case Form section below.
    • System Element Panels (JCC) - The Details panel of a System Element contains a Create Case widget that opens the Create Case Form.
    • Drawing Navigation (JCC) - Pin Enabled Drawings allow a User to place an Issue/Case directly onto a map/drawing. Essentially, the drawing must state "Drawing Enabled for Case Placement" in order for the following functionality to be available. For additional information and instructions on placing pins, see the Drawing Navigation (JCC) page for assistance.
