Job Connect Maintenance (JCM) is one of the two User Interface (UI) modes offered with the IMMS mobile client. JCM is intended for field personnel supporting preventive maintenance and remedial maintenance projects. JCM UI offers user-friendly views and tools for accessing, reviewing and updating PM Cases, Issues and Install Cases, as well as any associated Tasks and related Work Tickets.
This article discusses the following aspects of the JCM UI.
UI General Layout
Before providing guidance on the specific records and tools supported by JCM, it is helpful to provide a high-level introduction to the User Interface general layout. Then, you will know where to look for things as you explore JCM capabilities.
The JCM User Interface (UI) offers a clean and consistent presentation of IMMS records (e.g., Cases, Work Tickets, Work Forms, etc.) along with user-friendly tools to keep work progress updated while on the site or on the go. The UI will adhere to the same general layout, regardless of the records being viewed and managed.
The following components of the UI will be positioned consistently throughout your JCM experience:
Main Menu - The Main Menu is always positioned vertically along the left side of the screen. The Main Menu allows Users to quickly navigate between the views and records supported by JCM. See more below.
Settings - The gear icon, located atop the Main Menu, provides Users with quick access to Settings options, including: Sync Data, Scan Barcode, Add Activity, Create Case, What's New, Technical Support, and Log Out. See Settings for more details.
Collapse Main Menu - JCM offers access to an incredible amount of information and robust tools. Sometimes you need just a little more screen space to see and do everything. Use the Main Menu Collapse icon to reduce the Main Menu to a thin icon bar along the left side of the screen. You don't lose access to any navigation options. They're just smaller.
Viewing Pane - The viewing pane is open area to the right of the Main Menu. This is the area where records will be displayed and updated. The records displayed will vary by the view selected.
View Title - The view title will always be positioned at the center top of the viewing pane.
View/Record Commands - Located in the top right corner of the viewing pane, the view/record commands, represented by icons, provide access to tools associated with the active view or record. The available commands will vary depending on the record type(s) being displayed.
View Options - Located at the very bottom of the viewing pane, the view options allow Users to quickly control the set or subset of records being displayed within a view.
Search/Scan - Available via most views, the search/scan bar at the top of the viewing pane allows Users to quickly search records and scan Assets which are barcoded.
Main Menu
The Main Menu displays a group of vertically stacked links, which allow Users to navigate the various views supported by JCM. The table below summarizes those links/views.
Note: The records displayed within any view will depend on the data downloaded to the device. Data download requires connectivity to the Instance server.

| The Cases views display Case records downloaded to the device. Views include: My Cases, New Cases, Pending Cases, and Global Cases. |

| Job Map |
| The Job Map view is an interactive view, which allows Users to navigate Work Tickets within a mapping interface. |

View-Specific Records and Functionality
Each view, accessible from the Main Menu, displays a specific type of record (e.g., Case, Work Ticket, Location, etc.). Some views display the same record type, but present different means of record navigation. For example, the My Cases view and Jobs Map both display Cases assigned to the User. One displays a list of Cases while the other displays those same cases on a map-based interface.
