  • Enter the Action Taken to record what was done to address the work order.
  • Enter the Labor Hours for today. *Note: You must click the Mark Complete button to save any information typed into the Action Taken or Today's Labor Hours fields.
  • When you click the Mark Complete button, the current date will be listed as the Actual Completion Date on the work order and the work order status will change to Complete.

 

Adding Labor Hours on the Work Order Form

If you need to enter labor hours for multiple days to the same work order, you can do so on the Work Order form.

 

  • Open an existing work order by clicking on the work order number in the Assigned Work section of your home page or by typing the work order number into the Search for field.
  • Scroll down the work order and look for the section titled Transactions. Click on the New Labor Transaction.

 

 

  • Enter the number of hours for each day that work needs to be recorded and click Save.
  • Use the Calendar to the left of the screen to select dates not initially displayed.
  • To differentiate between different types of labor time, click the OT (Other Time) link next to the day. Enter your labor hours into the appropriate Other Time fields and click on Save.
  • You can also enter an Action Taken message in the text box below the Work Order ID and change the status of the work order to Complete by checking the Work Complete? box.
  • Click the Save button when you are done entering hours and information to this work order.

 

Adding Labor Hours on Multiple Work Orders

You can quickly add labor hours for multiple days onto multiple work orders.
