In the Work Orders module, you can see a list view of all work orders entered through either the Dashboard or the Planned Maintenance module.

Viewing Work Order Details

Understanding the details of a work order helps you manage the facilities issues happening at your locations more effectively. 

On each work order you will see the following information, divided into 5 sections:

• Section 1 displays the problem code, status, issue, trade, priority, category, created by, and caller details.
• Section 2 displays the tracking number, location details, the assigned service provider and technician, NTE, and related issue dates such as scheduled date, rescheduled ETA date, and work date.
• Section 3 displays the problem description, resolution (including resolution and root cause codes if applicable), and the last added note. If a work order has an associated RFP or asset, they also appear here.
• Section 4 displays the options to view/edit the work order and create a proposal, an invoice, and a linked work order.
• Section 5 displays icons indicating recalls, linked work orders, starred work orders, the total time spent by a technician on-site as well as a checkbox to select the work order for bulk actions.

Section 1: Issue and Status

This section displays information in three rows. On the left are:

Problem Code and Status highlighted with the color matching the status of the work order. (SeeAbout Work Order Life Cycle and Statusesfor more information.)  In case the work order has an extended status, it appears here, providing you information on the exact progress of the work order. Clicking the status/problem code area opens the detailed view of the work order.

• Area, Problem Type, and Asset; or simply the Problem Description when other information is not available.
• Trade, Priority, and Category of the work order. 
• The date/time the work order was created.

 On the right, the following information is available:

• Caller, which is either
  • the name of the person who called in the work order; or
  • "Automatically Generated" when generated from the Planned Maintenance module
• Created by, the User Name/User ID of the person who entered the work order into ServiceChannel
• Age of the work order, which is how long the work order has been open. Once the work order is in the Complete status, the aging stops.

Section 2: Work Details

Information is arranged in 4 columns here:

Column 1: Work Order identification details, including the tracking number, work order number, purchase order number, work order label, and weather event (where applicable).

1. Clicking on work order numbers open a detailed view of the work order. It's important to note that:
   1. Tracking numbers are automatically applied to all work orders and cannot be edited. Work Order numbers and Purchase Order (PO) numbers are automatically assigned the same number as the Tracking Number, and will not appear on the work order unless edited.
   2. PO numbers can have a maximum of 50 alphanumeric characters. On the Work Order List, PO numbers are truncated to less than 20 characters. To see the full number, either mouse over the number or edit the work order.
   3. Tracking numbers, Work Order numbers, and PO numbers carry over throughout Service Automation, namely to Invoices, Proposals, and downloaded reports.
2. Clicking on a Label or Weather event updates the filters on the left. Click Apply to see all work orders with that label or weather event. Click Clear to remove all filters.

Column 2: Location details, Service Provider details, and Leaving Reviews for Providers.

• Location details include the Location ID, name, and address. Clicking this link will take you to the Location Details page.

  Info
  On Work Orders, you can also list location Open Dates (for locations open for less than a year) and Remodel Dates (for locations that have been remodeled). Contact your ServiceChannel Representative to turn this feature on.

  
  

• Under the location details, there can be listed up to 2 location note headers. See Managing Location Note Headers to learn how you can display LNHs on the work orders list.
• Service Provider details include the name of the service provider assigned to the work order and the technician name if applicable. Clicking the service provider or technician name opens the respective details in a pop-up window.
• Completed work orders have theLeave Reviewlink or the rating (stars), from where you may leave a review or update the rating, as illustrated below:
  

Column 3: NTE/Subtotal and tax amounts, and links to related Proposals, RFPs, and/or Invoices. Clicking these links take you to the details of the proposal, RFP, or invoice selected.

Column 4: Work Order Dates and Work Order Assignee. The last updated scheduled date for the work order, the original ETA or expiration date/time for maintenance work orders, and the last date/time work was performed on the work order. 

The Work Order Assignee is the person who was given this work order to manage. This is helpful when you want to split the work between people on your staff, for example, across facility coordinator or across different areas of responsibility. You can edit the work order to add an assignee, as well as filter work orders by the assignee. You will see the Assignee throughout the lifecycle of this work order, including on Proposals and Invoices.

Section 3: Problem Description, Assets, RFPs, and Notes

On the left are the problem description and resolution (if available). If the work order resolution appears cut off, hover over the resolution to view it in full in a tooltip.

On the right, the last added note details including the note number, the date and time it was added, and the actual note appear.

• Here, you can see an RFP linked to a work order (if any).
• If an asset is associated with a work order, the asset tag and tag ID also appear here.

Planned Maintenance work orders may have multiple assets attached. To see information on the assets associated with the work order, click the Assets button on the work order in the list view. You are navigated to the Asset Manager module with the list of assets linked to the work order.

Note that the assets list is filtered by the work order tracking number. By clicking the asset tag ID, you can navigate to the asset details page.
