1From a read-only look at the FieldRoutes account on 2026-11-02 and its official manuals. Each line ends with its evidence: Observed in the account, Documented in a manual, or not tested. Capture numbers link to the screen below. All of FieldRoutes across the 20 blocks
FieldRoutes has mobile apps for technicians (service) and sales reps (Mobile Sales, sold as the SalesRoutes add-on). The research looked only at the office (desktop) side: the Admin > Preferences > Mobile settings, the mobile permissions in access profiles, mobile push-notification choices on the User Card, and settings elsewhere that say how something behaves in the app (checklists, bundles, service types, sales aides, two-factor login). No phone or tablet app was opened, no mobile session was run and nothing was sent. The research has 30 screenshots that touch this block (6 placed here and 24 from other blocks), all desktop configuration screens or staff location maps.
Each capture is a saved screen state from the FieldRoutes account on 2026-11-02. A screen shows what controls exist; it does not prove what happens when they are used.

Current mobile app policies in two parts. Sales: map code, appointment flexibility, default services, payment and signed-agreement prerequisites, contract-signed alert, default source, nearby-appointment distance and the Technician Earliest Available Spot shortcut (shows each technician's earliest open spot; applies to all mobile users). Service: look-ahead/back days, block completion when there is a balance, collection limits, payment holds, push notifications, products required, rescheduling, collection auto-apply, interior selection and equipment-scan confirmation. Values are this account's settings.

Edit mode of the sales defaults: require map code, appointment flexibility (flexible on route or fixed to spot), default recurring and initial service types, valid card/bank needed for AutoPay, alert on mobile contract signing, default customer source, signed agreement and payment method needed for scheduling, nearby distance and earliest-available-spot shortcut. Not saved.

Edit mode of the technician defaults: look-ahead/look-back days, block completion if balance (all, residential or commercial only), max over-collect, payment hold and monthly charge caps, push notifications, products required to complete, rescheduling, auto-apply of collected payments (needs Apply Payments permission), interior-serviced selection and equipment-scan confirmation. Not saved.

Catalog of symbols technicians place on property diagrams, with scope filter, search and a 'show tech name and license # on diagram' option.

Form for a diagram symbol: code, description, notes, Most Used flag, scope and an icon from a preset library. Not saved; no diagram drawn.

Expanded icon library for diagram markers (Angle Drill is preselected). The page text lists 92 icons: Angle Drill, Ant, Attic Tent, Baffles, Bait Box, Bat, Bed Bugs, Bee, Broadcast Spray, Bug Eggs, Call, Can Light Covers, Cancel, Carpenter Ants, Cast Skins, Cellulose, Cockroach, Conducive Condition, Damage, Dampwood Termites, Delete, Delete Trash, Drilling, Drywood Termites, Dust, Edit, Excessive Moisture, Expansion Joint, Faulty Grade, Fecal Matter, Fence, Flower, Fly, Foam Treat, Fog, Fungus, Further Inspection Needed, Grid View, Hose, Inaccessible Areas, Info, Insulation, Itemized, Light, Moisture, Mosquito, Mouse, Mouse Trap, No Treatment, Obstructions, Opening in Structure, Other Wood Destroying Insects, Plantings Abutting Structure, Plants, Plumbing Leaks, Powder Post Beatles, Prune, Question, Remove, Rodding, Rodent Droppings, Rodent Urine, Roof Leaks, Rub Marks, Sapling, Sat Grid View, Sat View, Save Image, Scorpion, Shoelace, Snake, Spider, Spray, Sprinkler Hitting Structure, Stop, Subterranean Termites, Success, Sun, Termite, Termite Bait Station, Toggle Lengths, Tree, Trench, Ventilation, View Off, Warning, Water Body, Water Damage, Water Shut Off, Water Stains, Wheelbarrow, Wood to Earth Contact. Names such as Delete, Cancel or Edit are pictures, not actions. The pane scrolls internally, so the image shows only part of the set.
Technician visit gates (observed settings, not run). The Service defaults decide what the app enforces before a technician can complete a visit: Block Completion if There is Balance, Require Products to Complete Appt, Require Interior Serviced Selection and Require Scanned Equipment Last Four Digit Confirmation. They also limit collections (Max Over Collect, Enforce Payment Hold Date, Enforce Max Monthly Charge), allow rescheduling, switch push notifications and auto-apply collected payments. A permission "Mark Equipment as Manually Inspected" lets a user skip the scan when scanning is impossible or unnecessary. 183-mobile-service-default-editor, 203-access-control-profile-editor
Checklists in the app (observed settings). An Appointment Checklist is bound to a service type and shown to the technician prior to start or before completion. It can be required, require a signed agreement, apply to initial-only or all appointments, and need final approval by none, the technician or the customer. Sections ask for Initials or a Single Tap. The help says checklists capture extra customer signatures or technician acknowledgement of steps. Display, capture and stored proof were not tested. 151-settings-appointment-checklist-form, 152-settings-checklist-section
Mobile sales (observed settings; add-on frozen). Sales defaults decide how reps book work: require a map code, appointment flexibility (flexible on route versus fixed to spot, for initial-only or all), default recurring and initial service types, default customer source, require a valid card/ACH for AutoPay, require a signed agreement and a payment method for scheduling, alert the office when a contract is signed in the app, show nearby appointment distance and offer a "technician earliest available spot" shortcut. Reps can only sell service types, bundles and add-ons marked visible to sales reps. A Service Type warning says default add-ons in invoice templates are unsupported for Mobile Sales users and may cause minimum-charge issues. Reps use Competitors, Objections and Sales Aides lists. When signing in the SalesRoutes app or the portal, a configurable acknowledgement appears above the terms initials (standard text if blank). 182-mobile-sales-default-editor, 141-settings-bundle-form, 312-communication-section-31-editor
En-route message (observed; disabled). The technician triggers an On My Way text when driving to a visit; Live Technician View adds a link showing proximity. The page says SMS must be configured, the technician must allow app location access, and the Customer Portal is needed only for Live Technician View. The message text has placeholders for customer names, ETA, office, service, address, technician and live-view link. Both checkboxes and Save are disabled even though the page reports SMS configured and portal on. A separate SMS registration-error banner exists in the account; the research does not tie the two together. 184-mobile-on-my-way
Push notifications (observed choices). Each user picks mobile push categories on the User Card: Sales Alerts, Filled Spot, Changed Appointments, Team Messages, Admin Messages and New Purchase (for Buy Online Service). Device registration and delivery were not tested. 550-owned-user-notifications
Login security (observed; documented). Two-factor is set per office, then per group (office staff, technicians, sales reps), with a 7-day setup period from first login and a re-verification snooze. It is off in this office. Documented: enrollment uses a smartphone authenticator app; one manual passage on disabling for an individual wrongly describes all-user scope, so disable precedence and recovery need clarification. 222-office-two-factor-settings-editor
Field data back to the office (documented or public claims). The Contracts vs Forms manual says mobile-uploaded diagrams and images can populate Forms; it does not document this for Contracts. The commercial product page says technicians can report conditions from mobile and pass notes and recommendations to the office. Location reports are meant to show where staff were, from field location data; no markers or tracks appeared for the captured day. 113-reporting-locations
