The work order status and summary appear in the header of the detailed view.

Section 1 of a work order: status and summary

The left section of the header displays the current primary and extended status of the work order and is color-coded based on the status. See About Work Order Life Cycle and Statuses for more information on statuses.

The right section of the header displays the problem details: the first row shows the problem code; the second row describes the area, problem type, and asset; and the third row contains the trade, priority, and category of the work order. In case the problem code, area, problem type, and asset details are not available for a work order, the problem description is shown.

Section 2: Work Order Details

This section displays work order details in four columns.

Section	Details Available
First column	Tracking number, Work Order number, and Purchase Order number.

When a custom Work Order number and/or Purchase Order (PO) number is used, it appears underneath the Tracking Number. 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. PO numbers can have a maximum of 50 alphanumeric characters. On the Work Order Details, PO numbers are truncated to less than 20 characters.

Location Notes. Sharable information stored in Location Note Headers for this location — such as store details and contact information — is listed. Problem Description. This section displays the area, problem type, asset, problem code, and description. For Completed work orders, resolutions, i.e. the work summary that a technician enters upon check-out to explain which work was done to solve the issue, also appears here. Resolution Codes & Root Cause. Completed work orders of specific trades may include resolution and root cause codes in this section.
