Work Orders: Asset

The Work Orders sub-tab is displayed by default when first accessing the History tab. The Work Orders sub-tab lists all work orders generated on behalf of the asset.

Two check boxes are displayed at the top of the page, controlling the order and display of records:

  • The Group by Status check box will sort the page with work orders organized into groupings, based on current work order status.

  • The All Levels check box will refresh the page with work orders generated for all levels beneath the currently selected node of the tree. This feature allows you to view work orders for assets that are directly associated with the asset you are viewing, such as components stored at a lower level of the tree.

ClosedField Descriptions

The first five columns listed on the Work Order History page are the same as those displayed on the Work Order List. For complete information on the images used to indicate work order status, priority and assignment/approval state, see: Work Order List Columns.

The following fields are displayed in the Work Order History List:

  • Priority: Icon representing the priority of the work order. If a work order has a critical priority, Small icon of a red exclamation point. is displayed. If a work order has low priority, Small icon of a blue down arrow. is displayed.

  • Status: Icon representing the current work order status. Each icon shows a clipboard with a small image on the left, signifying the current status of the work order. The color of the image indicates the source of the work order. Images with an orange background were generated based on a preventive maintenance schedule. For a full listing of status icons, see Work Order List Columns.

  • Approval State: Icon representing the current approval state, if required by your organization. Work orders requiring/pending approval will show a blue question mark; work orders that have been approved will have a check mark; and work orders that have been rejected will show a red x. If the work order does not require approval, the column is blank. Whether or not a particular work order requires approval depends on the access rights of the individual initiating the request.
