Note: if you have enough screen space you can drag this and all other workorder form toolbars up to the same level as the main toolbar to free up more screen space.

MenuWorkorderItemTypes Workorder Item Types

Types are selectable from the workorder item grid. This toolbar item opens up the Workorder Item Types subgrid whereby you can create new or edit existing workorder item types.

You will note that there is a Workorder Item Status as well as a Workorder Status field in the workorder

Entering a meter reading for the selected unit via this method auto-enters the workorder number into the meter readings Workorder column field for that record, and makes that specific Unit Meter Reading display in the Items grid for that specific workorder item; as well as making it available to a detailed report template dataset for Service Workorders and Items, and in a summary report template dataset for Items.

MenuRecordHistory Record History

This opens up the Record History window displaying the user that originally created the workorder item, and date of creation; and the last user that modified this workorder item and date of modification.

 

Do note that these fields are not updated until the object has been saved and closed. For example, if you have just created a new workorder item, and have not yet selected Save & Exit – the creator and creation date will be blank until this is performed.
