RTA Web - Work Order Status Setup
Here you can set up your status options for your work orders. You can also create automations that will update the vehicle status if desired. Creating work order statuses will give you the ability to customize the shop workflow and you can tie them into vehicle statuses for greater automation. This adds a second level of statuses to paint a clearer picture of what might be occurring with the assets.
On the Work Order Status Setup screen, you will see some default statuses; Open and Closed. These two status names cannot be changed but can be color coded and have rules applied. They cannot be deleted and must remain in the system.
To turn on the Work Order Status Option see the Custom Web Configuration section under the RTA Web - Company Information menu.
