Creating and Managing Work Orders

Updated

In Mobileforce FSM, Work Orders allow users, typically in an Agent role, to group sets of related (child) Service Tasks to better organize and manage your tasks. Work Orders are optional, as organizations can use work orders for all Service Tasks, some tasks, or no tasks at all.

The information for an order is collected from the customer, typically by an Agent, who will also create or associate Service Tasks with the order.

Example

For a company that provides computer and network services, a Work Order could be created for the installation and configuration of a new database server.

To create, edit, or review Work Orders, from the Field Service menu, select Work Orders.
