Work Order If/Then Conditional Sub-Procedures

Work orders support if/then conditional logic for procedures. This logic guides you through only the sub-tasks relevant to your specific situation.

Smart and dynamic guidance

When you record a reading on a trigger sub-procedure, the system performs the following actions:

• Enables or disables the associated conditional child sub-procedures right away.
• Guides you through the correct steps based on your answers without a page reload.
• Supports Yes/No, Choice list, and Ranged data trigger types.

Relevant sub-procedures

To ensure you only see applicable tasks, the system manages sub-procedures as follows:

• The system hides conditional sub-tasks when the page first loads. They only appear once you meet the trigger condition.

• If you change a trigger reading, the system updates which sub-tasks are active.

Visual cues

Conditional sub-tasks look different to help you identify them:

• The system indents them under their parent task.

• They feature a Link/Chain icon next to the label.

• A tooltip on the icon says: This sub-procedure depends on a parent task.

• Disabled tasks appear grayed out until you meet the trigger condition.

Data preservation and access:

• Saved readings: The system saves any readings you enter, even if it later hides those tasks.

• Reopening work orders: When you reopen a work order, the system shows the sub-tasks that match your saved readings.

• Saving without errors: You can save your work even if some tasks are hidden. The system only needs readings for active tasks.

• Mobile and Desktop: These features work the same way on all devices.
