A change was not applied because the office got there first

If the office reassigned or updated a job while your change waited on the phone, your change is not applied over theirs. It is passed to the office instead, and you see an amber note.

Where: Engineer app › amber bar at the topFor engineers, Owners, admins, dispatchers

Step by step

  1. Read the amber note: "Not applied: <change>. <reason> It has been passed to the office."
  2. Tap OK, dismiss once you have read it. For a photo, the phone asks first because the file is still only on your phone.

Typical reasons

"This job was reassigned while the change waited on the phone."

"The office updated this job after this change was made on the phone."

"The office had already marked this job completed."

The office sees your change on the job page under Changes from the engineer's phone that were not applied and decides what to do. Other changes carry on sending.
