Resolving Delayed Job Submissions: A Practical Guide

This article provides a comprehensive guide for resolving issues related to jobs that are stuck in the MapAll app's outbox and not being submitted to the back office as expected.

When job submissions get stuck in the outbox, it can disrupt your workflow and delay critical operations, affecting overall productivity and client satisfaction. Recognizing the urgency of such issues, especially when specific jobs have been pending for an extended period, we've prepared this guide. It is designed to help you navigate through and resolve delays in job submissions from the outbox to the back office within the Mapall app, ensuring your operations continue to run smoothly and efficiently.

Identifying the Problem

A common scenario we encounter is jobs that remain in the outbox for an extended period without being successfully submitted to the back office.

For example, if you have work that has been stalled for longer than necessary, it is clear that immediate action is needed to correct this problem and maintain the integrity of the workflow.

Step-by-Step Resolution

To address and resolve such delays effectively, please follow these troubleshooting steps:

  1. Active App Requirement: Ensure the Mapall app is active and not running in the background. For jobs to submit successfully, the app needs to be in the foreground.

  2. Sufficient Device Storage: Check if your device has enough free space. Limited storage can adversely affect the app’s performance, potentially leading to submission delays.

  3. Stable Internet Connection: A solid and fast internet connection is essential. Conduct a speed test to verify that your connection isn’t hindering the submission process.

Should the issue persist despite these preliminary checks, consider the following additional steps:

  • App Restart: Closing and then reopening the app can clear temporary issues that might be preventing job submissions.

  • Foreground Operation: To ensure smooth submissions, keep the app open on your screen, allowing it to process queued jobs effectively.

  • Patience Pays Off: The app attempts to process submissions every 15 minutes, provided it's active and connected to a reliable internet source. Allowing adequate time for this process is crucial.

Further Tips for Success

  • Quality of Internet Connection: Even with a connected status, a poor or intermittent internet connection can impede the submission of jobs. Ensure your connection is consistently strong.

  • Feedback for Faster Resolution: If the problem doesn't resolve, providing a screenshot or screen recording of the outbox with the delayed job visible can be incredibly helpful. You can do this by navigating to the 'More Info' tab and selecting the appropriate outbox. This detailed information allows our support team to diagnose and address your issue more effectively.
