Managing Pick Lists
In TheWorxHub, pick lists can be customized to allow for more personalized reporting and tracking of data. *Note: Clients who have purchased the WorxIQ application will need to contact their WorxIQ Administrator to make changes to pick lists in the account.
Pick Lists are used to provide the options that you select when creating work orders, assets, and more.
