      Returning guest presenter Aaron Wilson is back for another exciting discussion. This time, we'll be talking about...
      The Science of CYA: How to Keep the Customer Safe, Document Your Work, and Not Get Sued
      We take on a lot of liability as appliance repair techs, and that can get us into sticky situations whether we've done anything wrong or not. Aaron will be teaching us all about how to navigate this side of the trade.
      We'll start by going over a tragic, real-world case study where a sloppy installation had lethal results, analyzing exactly how the installer's negligence caused this. From there, our scope will expand to what kind of safety precautions we should implement in our own work, both for the customer's sake and for our own.
      But even if you do everything perfectly, there's still the famous "technician witch hunt." Well, we'll also talk about how to deal with that by thoroughly documenting your work and putting yourself beyond legal reproach.
      A little about our guest, Aaron Wilson:
      Aaron has been in the appliance repair trade for about 15 years, starting out by doing installations before moving on to bigger and better things. He worked for C&W Services as a Sub-Zero authorized servicer for a time and thereafter joined Mr. Appliance of Highland Park in the Dallas area, where he worked for years as the lead technician and field service manager. These days, he's making sure that all the appliances of everyone's favorite fried chicken place are in tip-top shape as the Quality and Performance Consultant for the southwest branch of Chick-fil-A. In addition, he has taught many classes on refrigeration repair and advanced diagnostics, during which time he also developed training material for the soft skills side of things, which he is delighted to share with you. On top of all that he's a certified graduate of the Master Samurai Tech Academy, so he knows his stuff!

iOS search weirdness going


Recommended Posts

Hello, 

When I do a search, example WRX735* returns 107 results. Great!

Using wx735* returns 107 results. 

Click and read a random result, then browser back to search results for more reading and you get kicked back to empty search screen and need start over. 

I suspect it’s the way iOS handles history, but am curious if this is know issue or better way to retain search results is available?

Thanks

@Joe B, Stoughton Appliance Repair I don't know if IOS works the same as Window/Android but this is the way I do it so you don't use the bandwidth to redownload the search results each time.

Instead of doing a normal LEFT click on a search result in the list where it loads the new page in the same window losing your search results and having to reload the search page when you do a back.

Do this instead, RIGHT click on the search result that you want to open then click from the drop downlist either "Open Link in New Tab" or "Open Link in New Window".   I use the open in new tab option and open multiple tabs from the search list then look and delete the open tabs not needed and continue opening in new tabs from the search list.  Doing this, you never have to worry about or reload the search results each time.

Another tip - If you have a mouse with a scroll wheel, on my mouse the center scroll wheel between the Left and Right clicker is also clickable, (instead of rolling scroll wheel you press it) - this action can usually be mapped to a specific function with your mouse setup/control on control panel.  I didn't have to do anything and clicking on a link with the scroll wheel on my mouse automatically opens the link you click on in a NEW TAB.

You just go down your search list clicking the links with the scroll wheel and each tab will quickly open in a new tab.  On my browser you stay on the search page and the link opens in a new tab in the back ground so you can just go down the list clicking the scroll wheel until all the tabs you want are open, (NOTE: there might be a setting in your browser to change for new tabs to open in background so you don't have to keep clicking each time after opening a new tab back to the search page).
