Installation
As of version 12, you can install Field Service alone without mapping features.
To install Field Service and have the mapping features, you need to install GeoEngine. GeoEngine requires you to have PostGIS installed and also install two additional python libs:
Please refer to the installation instructions available at: https://github.com/OCA/geospatial/tree/12.0/base_geoengine
Configuration
The base Field Service module can be used with minimal initial configuration. It also allows for many advanced features, which require a more in-depth configuration.
Order Stages
The stage of an order is used to monitor its progress. Stages can be configured based on your company’s specific business needs. A basic set of order stages comes pre-configured for use.
Go to Field Service > Configuration > Stages
Create or edit a stage
Set the name for the stage.
Set the sequence order for the stage.
Select Order type to apply this stage to your orders.
Additonally, you can set a color for the stage.
You need to add attribute mention below with the tag <timeline> as base element.
colors (optional): it allows to set certain specific colors if the expressed condition (JS syntax) is met.
custom_color (optional): it allows to set custom color for fsm.stages example custom_color = “true”. And there is minor condition to follow to implement this as. Define any one stage color condition like colors=”#ffffff:stage_id==’New’;”
Field Service Areas
You can manage designated areas or locales for your field service workers, salesmen, and other resources. For example, salesmen may serve a particular Territory. There may be multiple Territories served by a single Branch office location. Multiple Branches are managed within a District and these Districts are managed under an encompassing Region.

Create or select a territory
Set the territory Name and description
