How to Create a Work Order

You can create work orders for work you are currently performing, work you have done in the past, or work you are requesting to be done. *Note: When filling out the work order form, you will notice some of the fields have a red checkbox () next to it. This means the field is required and must be filled out before the work order can be saved.
