The Field Service Management application includes the Field Service Mobile plugin \(com.sn\_fsm\_mobile\) by default. This plugin enables the Field Service mobile application's functionality within your Field Service Management application. **Note:** The mobile plugin must be installed. You can configure the following functionalities within this mobile application to ensure an optimized mobile experience for your Mobile Agent application instance, empowering agents and dispatchers to work efficiently from any location: - Customize system and mobile properties to tailor the mobile experience according to your organization's requirements. This includes configuring settings such as display options, permissions, and access controls. - Enable the outsourced service provider to manage tasks on mobile devices. This functionality allows contractors to access and manage their assigned tasks, ensuring seamless collaboration and efficient task execution. - Utilize the task briefing feature using the virtual agent capability. This enables agents to receive briefings and instructions for their tasks directly through the mobile application, ensuring they have all the necessary information to complete their assignments effectively. - Implement indoor way finding functionality within the mobile application. This enables agents to navigate complex indoor environments more easily, improving their efficiency and reducing response times. If you have the wm\_manager, sn\_fsm\_tp.fsm\_territory\_resource\_manager role, and Field Service Manager Mobile is activated, when you sign into the Mobile Agent you see Field Service Manager Mobile. ## Offline Mobile Limitations The following items are known limitations to consider when using Field Service Mobile Agent in offline mode. - Mobile Playbooks aren't available offline. - Questionnaires can't be generated offline.
