Work requests created from Event Manager tasks
The Event Manager and Asset Essentials integration will allow Event Manager Tasks to be submitted as Asset Essentials Work Requests. This creates a seamless communication experience between your departments which allows for work to be completed quickly and efficiently. A task must be created in Event Manager in order for it to be submitted as a work request in Asset Essentials. *Note: Not all clients are eligible for this integration. To learn if you are eligible, contact Client Services.
