RTA Web - Warranty Claims Master List Overview

The Warranty Claims list displays all claims that have been added to the RTA software. This list can be viewed as a whole or can be sorted/adjusted for specific views. The ability to sort and customize columns as well as to export the master list are available.

Refer to Master List Functions TOC for instructions.

Refer to Creating a Warranty Claim for instructions to create claims in RTA.

This article will cover the various columns that can appear on the Warranty Claims Master List as well as actions that can be taken while viewing the list.

Searching the Warranty Claims Master List

The search bar at the top of the master list will allow the user to search by specific datasets.

Search does not exclude fields and may have multiple results. For example, if a work order is numbered as 1234 and that is also an asset number, the system will return results for claims attached to work order 1234 as well as any claims for asset 1234.

To search do the following:

  1. Enter the data to search in the search bar

  2. The list will re-display with all the line items that contain a matching result

Depending on the number of claims in RTA, be sure to check the bottom of the list to see how many items are displaying per page and how many pages there are to view.
