Setting the right priority ensures urgent work gets attention first.
Priority Levels
LOW
Non-urgent, schedule flexibly. Example: cosmetic repairs
MEDIUM
Standard maintenance, normal scheduling. Example: routine repairs
HIGH
Needs attention soon. Example: equipment degradation
CRITICAL
Emergency response required. Example: production stoppage
Tip
Automatic due dates (Business)
In Settings → System you can give each priority a number of days. When a work order is created without a due date, that many days are added to the creation date. A date entered by hand always wins, and preventive maintenance keeps the date from its own schedule.
- Leave a box empty to keep that priority without an automatic due date
- Clearing all four boxes turns the feature off
- Applies to work orders created by hand, in bulk, and from approved requests
- Past-work records and imported work orders are never given a future due date
Sorting by priority
Sort the work order list by priority in either direction — Critical first when you are deciding what to tackle, Low first when you are looking for filler work. On the web use the Sort control above the list; in the mobile app use the sort button in the work order list toolbar, which remembers your choice on that device and also applies offline.
