How To: Add a Work Order from the Service Request Form

In TreePlotter™ INVENTORY, Work Orders contain Service Requests. This How To details the process for creating a Work Order at the same time as a Service Request.

Prerequisites:

Steps:

NOTE: Your app may have two slightly different versions of the Service Request form:
1. Service Request added with the ‘ADD’ button
2. Service Request added through the ‘Service Request’ button that is often available to the Public.

The steps below describe how to create a new Work Order from a Service Request form created with the ‘ADD’ button.

  1. Create a new Service Request or open an existing Service Request form.
  2. Fill out the Service Request form and navigate to the Work Orders tab.
  3. Click the ‘ADD’ button
  4. A confirmation popup window will appear that reads, “What would you like to do?”
  5. Select the ‘CREATE A NEW WORK ORDER AND LINK TO IT’ button.
  6. The Work Order is placed on the map in the same location as the Service Request.

If your app has the Service Request button, you can create a new Work Order through those forms by following the steps below:

  1. Click on the ‘Service Request’ button in the top right corner of your app to create a new Service Request.
  2. Fill out the Service Request form. In the Administrative section, select the checkbox for Check Box to Add to Work Order.
  3. A confirmation popup window will appear that reads, “Are you sure you want to add this 1 service request to a work order?” Select the ‘Yes’ button to confirm.
  4. A second popup window will appear that reads, “What would you like to do with your selected work?”, select the ‘CREATE A NEW WORK ORDER AND LINK TO IT’ button.

Known Limitations:
