To create a Work Order from a maintenance plan:

  1. Go to the Plant asset
  2. Maintenance
  3. Click 3 dots beside the scheduled Maintenance Plan
  4. Click Create Work Order
  5.  A dialogue will open. The name of the plan will automatically be pulled through to the Work Order Title.
  6. Assign the Maintenance Manager for this Work order and then select the interval you wish to create the Work Order for. The system will show a recommendation based on what is due next in the sequence. Select and hit submit to create. 
  7. The work order will now be created with the associated tasks set for that interval.



Creating Work Orders Ad Hoc

To create an Ad Hoc Work Order:

  1. Go to the Plant asset
  2. Create Work Order 
  3. A dialogue will appear. Here you must give the Work Order a title and assign a Maintenance Manager. You have an optional choice to also give the work order a deadline. To create the work order click submit.
  4. Now the work order is created you can add maintenance tasks, set a location and set a due date if you haven’t already. 
  5. You may also set a scheduled date range that you wish to perform this work order. If set the Work Order will appear on the Assets calendar red for all to see that it has scheduled maintenance for this period.
  6. Criticality of a work order is auto set and is derived from the highest criticality of a task on the work order.

 


Adding Maintenance Tasks

If you wish to create an additional task not associated with a checklist item you can do so by:

  1. clicking the add task button at the top right of the work order:
  2. You will be asked if you wish to create the task from a task template or not. A task template is a predefined task already created in the system by your Maintenance Manager. If yes, select the task template and submit. 
  3. If you are not using a Task template you may select no and begin to create a new task. Fill out the task details and submit to create the task. On creation open the task by clicking the eye icon to the side of it on the work order and set any further information needed for the task by clicking the pencil icons.

When viewing a work order you are assigned to, the status of the work order is visible on the top left corner of the screen. The work order status' indicate the following:
