The “Reasons” tab in Work Orders Settings is the linchpin to Work Orders. Without work order reasons, you are unable to submit a work order of any kind. When a work order is submitted, you are asked to select a reason for submitting the work order, and in the “Reasons” tab of work order settings is where you define these reasons and associate them to specific asset categories and work order categories. To get to the “Reasons” tab:
- Click “Work Orders” under the management menu.
- In the upper right-hand corner, click “Settings.”
- Click the “Reasons” tab.
Now on the “Reasons” tab, you can view all of the reasons that have been added as well as create new reasons. To view/edit a reason, you can click the reason. If you would like to create a new reason:
- Click “+Add Reason”
- Enter in the name of the reason.
- Click the “Add Work Order Reason” button
You will be taken to that new “Reasons” details page. Here you may define:
- Work Order Priority Override – By choosing a priority here (Low, Normal, High, or Critical), any work order that has this reason selected will automatically be assigned the priority you choose here. If you keep “None” selected, the priority for a facility-based work order will default to a work order priority of “Normal” and the priority for an asset-based work order will default to the priority of that assigned asset’s category.
- List Color – The list color appears under the “Reason” column in the table on the “Work Orders” tab. Color helps the Maintenance team to more quickly distinguish what kind of work orders they have to address.
