Adding a Biomed Work Order

TheWorxHub allows you to create a Biomed work request or a work order. A work request is generally entered by a staff member and then approved and accepted as a work order by the responsible department. If the work you are entering does not need to be approved, you can enter it directly as a work order. You can enter a Biomed work order by first searching for the asset or location.

How to Add a Biomed Work Order

1. From the Dashboard, click on the Biomed tab.
2. Click on the Add button in the top right corner of the screen and select Work Order from the drop-down menu.

Asset-Based Work Order

1. Select the Asset Based Work option to start the work order by searching for the asset.
2. Locate the asset using criteria such as the Asset Name/Description, Barcode #, Asset Location, Category, Subcategory, Manufacturer, Model, or Serial #.
3. Select the asset from the list to link it to the work order.
4. Select a Priority for the work order.
5. Click the Subscribe to email updates link to receive updated notifications for this work order.

 

 

6. To choose a different asset for the work order, click the Search again? link. *Note: Only one asset can be linked to a Biomed work order.

7. Enter a Description of the work that needs to be performed.
8. Type any additional details and notes in the Details box. *Note: This is an optional step. We highly recommend filling in as much detail as possible. However, if you choose to skip this step, you can enter detailed step-by-step instructions in the Task List.
9. Click on Add New Task to choose what type of tasks you would like to add.
10.  In the window that appears, select a Task Type from the drop-down menu, and then click the plus sign icon (). *Note: You are able to add different task types to the task list.
11. The information you enter in the task field will depend on the Task Type you select:
    • Checkbox: This option is common for simple task lists where each step is documented, and you want to track which tasks have been completed vs. not completed.
    •  Number form data input: This option is used when you need to capture a measurement, but there is no requirement to link that input to any sort of corrective action, such as capturing the volts of the generator.
    •  Text form data input: This option is used when you need to input free form text data, such as the start time of when you began the generator test, or capturing a qualitative value on the condition of the equipment.
    •  Barcode scan: This is a unique task type where you can specify that step 1 require you to scan the asset barcode for the equipment that you're working on. This helps to prove that a technician was actually at the required location. * Note: You can only complete a barcode task type from your mobile device where barcode scanning is supported.
    •  Meter Reading: This option is used when you need to capture a reading on a pre-existing meter, such as water temperatures thresholds or odometer reading incremental meters. *Note: Meter reading style tasks can trigger action from a meter based scheduled work order.
    • Pass/Fail: This task type will automatically trigger a corrective work order template from the failure. Because this question type requires you to leverage a pre-existing template, it's important to review any pass/fail tasks to ensure an appropriate template exists and it linked to the task.
12. Add as many tasks as needed and click Save when you're finished.
13. Select a Category to specify the type of work being done. Then select a Subcategory to further describe the work. *Note: The Category you select will determine the Subcategories listed in the pick list.
14. Choose a Source of Work from the pick list.
15. Check the Is Compliance Related box if the work will be performed to fulfill a compliance requirement. *Note: The Is Compliance Related box is only visible for users with the Can See Compliance Checkbox permission in User Roles Settings.
16. Enter the name of the Requestor and the Requestor Phone number.
17. Expand the work order panels by clicking on the panel title and enter any information as needed.
18. Click Save.
