Use work orders to track the maintenance of your assets. These work orders are used to track labor, parts, and additional costs to further help you optimize asset longevity.


How to Create Work Orders

1 - On the Work Orders Page, click on + Work Order

2 - Enter in your Work Order Info, including:

  • Title

  • Description

  • Images

  • Due Date

  • Estimated Duration, Category

  • Main Worker/Additional Worker/Team

  • Location

  • Asset

  • Tasks/Checklists/Files

3 - Submit to create the work order!

TIP: If your assets are already assigned to a location, you can just select the asset, the location will automatically be assigned to the work order as well!

TIP: You can also create Work Orders through your Asset. Click into the Asset section, select the Asset, then select the Work Orders tab. You will then see a + Work Order button.


How to Process your Work Orders

By processing, we mean how to complete work orders and add notes on what work may have been completed.

1 - Click to open the desired work order

2 - Review the work order description/location/assets and any parts/tools needed
