You can create a work order for service or inspections from the Service page.

  1. In T3, select Service from the left menu.

  2. From the Work Orders table, select + Create.

    • Inspection

Note: The Work Order will default to whichever view is currently selected in the table.

  3. Select Create.

The new Work Order will appear in the Work Orders table.

  2. Select the + next to Users.

  3. Search and select a technician.

  4. To remove a user, select their name and choose Remove.

What Can Be Edited in a Work Order

Depending on user permissions, you can update:

General Details

  • Tags

  • Severity (Soft Down or Hard Down)

  • Billing Type (Internal, Warranty, Customer)

  • Priority

Asset & Scheduling

  • Update the assigned asset (if no activity has been recorded)

  • Update Scheduled Start and End times

  • Transfer the Work Order to another Branch

  • Change the asset associated with a work order by reopening it and selecting the asset number to update.

Delete a Work Order

Managers and Owner-level users can delete a Work Order from the details page under the Actions button.

Handling Autogenerated Work Orders

If a work order is prematurely autogenerated by the system, you can address this issue by:

  1. Closing the current autogenerated work order with the correct current hours.

  2. This action will reset the interval and prevent another work order from generating until the asset approaches the next threshold.

Platform Limitations and Workarounds

The platform has certain limitations when it comes to managing work orders. For example:

  • Linking Work Orders to Scheduled Services: It is not possible to merge or link an existing work order to an already scheduled service. To associate a work order with a specific service or asset, you must delete the incorrectly created work order and create a new one tied to the correct service or asset.
