  • Review the work order summary, including the estimated scheduled date.
  • Determine if a service provider accepted a work order.
  • View the status of an In Progress work order.
  • Review notes and add notes and attachments to appropriate work orders.

Your dashboard permissions determine if you are able to review and add notes and attachments.
