I totally agree with Adam's point of getting some more diagnostic tools in so field staff can say "it's an issue with your XXX" and teams have a chance of fixing it! How can you make a checklist when no one knows what you're looking for, and much of it can't be tested?
Hey Collen, I'm glad you bring this up. I know this is an issue and we've hit it around alot. 4FX has a solution for it also. We have a new team sign we designed that has a screen on the back of it that can do custom messages for each team, now only to find the budget to get them deployed for next year
