    Using overview

    The steps for preparing work orders are:

    1. Manage work orders

      Managing work orders includes the creation, assignment, and tracking of work orders through their completion.

    2. Manage work order tasks

      Work order tasks are an integral part of work orders, they define the activities that must be completed in the work order. Each work order has at least one work order task.

    3. (Optional) Assign ad-hoc Service Locations

      These locations allows administrators to configure service locations on demand. These ad-hoc locations are not part of a predefined Field Service location, giving greater flexibility to where a Field Service technician might be working on a day-to-day basis.
