Work Orders Module Explained

Work Order - a record of work to an asset or location. All data can be traced to a work order, creating a history for analyzing and improving operations. Work Orders are the core of the program. The more information you include on a work order the better.

Click Maint has two types of work orders:

  • Reactive - for unplanned, ad-hoc, unscheduled maintenance activity

  • Preventive - for regularly, reoccurring maintenance activity

The Work Orders Module is where you view, add, and edit all work orders. Like all other modules, which of these actions you can take depends on your User Role and permissions.

  • The number next to the module shows the total count of active work orders, including In Review

  • No number is visible if no active work orders

  • The number is white while in the module

  • Green indicates nothing is overdue or critical

  • Red means there are overdue work orders calculated from the Due Date field

Create a Work Order

Click the +Work Order button to open the New Work Order form. Admin users can configure the fields on the form and can make them mandatory. The more information you provide on work orders, the better. This helps build a better work order history and reports. Include images, specs, manuals, etc. to benefit your team.
