Planned Work Maintenance

Planned work is work that needs to be done, but not immediately. For example, a fabric rip in a seat. The challenge with planned work is it is easily forgotten.

The web app displays any planned work for an asset when a work order is viewed and all planned work can be reviewed in the Planned Work Maintenance area of web.

Planned work can be reviewed and automatically sent to a work order with a few clicks making it easier than ever to manage planned jobs.

Before a job will appear in the Planned Work Maintenance area, it has to be set up as a planned job. Refer to Planned Jobs for more information on setting up a planned job through a work order or visit the section below to add a planned job via the master list.
