Work Order Details

Opening a work order will bring you to the details page. This page holds all information that was input on the creation of the work order. In addition, the details screen holds a place to assign purchase orders to your vendors. This information can be updated to keep track of how to work order is going. There are tabs on the right side of the details that can show more information in the Work Order.

Work Order Notes

Notes are the place to keep track of information that is relevant to the work order. The notes section allows you to communicate any information between your own team, your vendors, or your client. 

When adding a note, you must select a type and  put a description. There are many different types of notes to choose from to help show what type of information that is being input.  The description is the body of the note. This is where you will put the information into the note. You can search the notes to find information that you've entered more easily.

Notes can be edited, shared, deleted, audited, downloaded, and emailed.

Editing a note will reset the time on the note to the current time This brings the note to the top of the note list Sharing a note will push the note to the vendor that the note is shared to The note will populate in the vendors work order as a shared note The shared note will keep the note label Deleting a note will remove the note from the note list A shared note cannot be deleted Auditing a note will show all changes that a note has had, and who made those changes, and when Downloading a note saves a PDF of the note Emailing the note opens a modal and allows you to send the note outside the system.

To clock out, hit the corresponding button and a new panel will open up.

Invoices

The invoices tab opens up to show any Vendor Invoices that have been created for this work order. Invoices can be created from these tabs and are broken down in detail here.

Proposals

The Proposals tab operates very similarly to the Invoices tab. The Proposals tab has two sub-tabs that lead to Client Proposals and Vendor Proposals. Proposals for this work order can be viewed and created here. The proposal process is broken down in more detail here.

Tasks

The task tab shows any tasks that have been set for the work order. The tasks can be set to correspond with a purchase order and given a category to give information on the follow up that is required. When creating a task for a work order, you can set a target start time which is what will set the priority of the task as the set time approaches. The Start Date/Time field can be used to track when a task was actually followed up on.
