Abstract:
1. A method for providing commitments information relative to a turf, the method comprising: displaying, in a graphical user interface provided by a computer having a processor and a memory, a grid having a plurality of rows, an installation column, an out-of-service column, and an affecting service column, each of the plurality of rows corresponding to one of a plurality of turfs associated with a telecommunications service area, wherein the grid further has a plurality of buckets, each of the plurality of buckets comprising a plurality of columns; displaying, in the graphical user interface, a first plurality of cells arranged under the installation column, a second plurality of cells arranged under the out-of-service column, and a third plurality of cells arranged under the affecting service column, each of the first plurality of cells configured to display a first expected time of completion to install a new service in the one of the plurality of geographic turfs, each of the second plurality of cells configured to display a second expected time of completion to restore a service that is out in the one of the plurality of geographic turfs, and each of the third plurality of cells configured to display a third expected time of completion to repair a service that is not properly functioning in the one of the plurality of geographic turfs; determining, through the computer, the first expected time of completion to install the new service for each of the plurality of geographic turfs, the first expected time of completion comprising a first number of days from when an installation work order is requested to when the installation work order is to be completed; determining, through the computer, the second expected time of completion to restore the service that is out for the each of the plurality of geographic turfs, the second expected time of completion comprising a second number of days from when an out-of-service work order is requested to when the installation work order is to be completed; determining, through the computer, the third expected time of completion to repair the service that is not properly function for the each of the plurality of geographic turfs, the third expected time of completion comprising a third number of days from when an affecting service work order is requested to when the installation work order is to be completed; upon determining the first expected time of completion to install the new service for each of the plurality of geographic turfs, displaying, in the graphical user interface, the first expected time of completion in the each of the first plurality of cells corresponding to the installation column; upon determining the second expected time of completion to restore the service that is out for the each of the plurality of geographic turfs, displaying, in the graphical user interface, the second expected time of completion in the each of the second plurality of cells corresponding to the out-of-service column; and upon determining the third expected time of completion to repair the service that is not properly functioning for the each of the plurality of geographic turfs, displaying, in the graphical user interface, the third expected time of completion in the each of the third plurality of cells corresponding to the affecting service column, wherein the first expected time of completion, the second expected time of completion, and the third expected time of completion are associated with each of the plurality of geographic turfs via a Common Language Location Identification code.
