The Field Service Management dispatch map uses geolocation data to show tasks and agents
in the field.
Users with the wm_dispatcher role or the dispatcher combination role can use the dispatch map
to schedule and assign work order tasks. When the dispatch map opens, the view centers on the
logged in user's location, as defined on the user record. Icons for tasks and agents provide
access to scheduling information and links to related records.
An administrator must activate the Field Service Management (com.snc.work_management) plugin
to enable the dispatch map.

- Agent and agent schedule status
- Agent's assignment group

task details and status.

that day.
