Overview
Work Records are the work activities that live within an Asset or Work Order. In TreePlotter PARKS the Work Record management system is organized very similarly to the Work Record management system in TreePlotter INVENTORY. You can add Work Records, archive work that has been done by your organization, be notified when work is due, and analyze the work at your organization using charts, graphs and tables.
