Work Order Details Tabs (bottom of details screen):

At the bottom of a Work Order details screen, an HQ user can further view, manage & add/remove information corresponding with the Tab selected. TIP: In the top left of each tab click on the Add button to add entries relating to the Tab you are in.

  1. Labor/Travel-The labor and travel tabs on the work order will have the minimums and roundings applied and are displayed. The minimums are applied on a per tech per day basis. The actual labor and travel hours are displayed in the Activity feed. NOTE: The labor/travel entries for work orders can be different than the labor/travel applied to time cards. The time card is recording the actual time while the work order is applying minimums and roundings.
  2. Parts - Parts added to work orders display within the tab. Users can add, edit, and delete parts. 
  3. Attachments- Pictures, PDFs, etc attached to work orders by technicians will be stored in this card. Users can select the attachment to view the full resolution version and download or delete the photos. 
  4. Codes- If applicable, any Cause/Correction codes will be displayed here. Click here to learn more.
  5. Activity - The Activity card displays everything that has happened on the work order. When a technician adds labor/travel, adds a work performed comment, private comment (click here to learn more), or submits any requests, it will display in the Activity tab. NOTE: If a labor/travel entry is received on a later date, a warning will be shown below the entry. Also, if a labor/travel is edited, a warning will display for this as well. From this tab an HQ user can manually add Comments (Private or Work Performed), edit/add labor and/or travel entries, create a quote request, create a part request and assign requests to yourself or other HQ users.
