Work Order Overview

work-order-popup.png Quick Actions

At the very top of the modal, there are four buttons: 

  • Cancel: This action puts the work order into the archives.
  • Print: This action will enable you to either print the work order as a physical copy or print it as a PDF.
  • Open in a new tab: This action will open the work order as a page, instead of as a modal, in a new tab.

General Information

In its top section, the modal displays some basic information. In the example above:

The word "Plumbing" indicates the category, and "Toilet Clogged" indicates the subcategory. It is possible to change the category and subcategory by tapping on the category name.

Assignment Information

If the work order is unassigned, you can assign it here by selecting the "Assign Work Order" button. That will open a new panel to the right.

As you can see, you will have the option to assign to either a technician or vendor. Our AI will recommend the best options and show you other available technicians. If there are multiple open work orders for the same unit, you will be given the opportunity to assign all of the open work orders to the same technician.

Waiting on Parts

If you need to mark the work order as waiting on parts, just select the waiting on parts button. This will open a new panel to the right.

Add your comments and select the button. This will change the status of the work order.

Making Comments

In the comment field, you have the option to do any of the following:

  1. Add a simple text note
  2. Mention another team member or resident by using the "@" symbol
  3. Upload a photo or video
  4. Upload multiple photos from an existing gallery

Work Order Timeline

The timeline stores all of the information about the work order's history. Residents, admins, and technicians can all make comments on the timeline. This is also where you'll see: 

  • Who created the order and when
  • The resident's description of the issue
  • Any responses made by the technician
  • Any photos or videos uploaded by either the resident or the technician
  • Notes about any changes to the status of the work order (for example, if it was marked as waiting on parts).
  • It's possible to mention a resident, admin, or technician by typing "@" and then selecting their name.

Every comment, photo, and video is timestamped for accurate record keeping.
