FAQs about Viewing/Processing Work Orders Web

What if I need to update details on a Work Order?

If you created the work order, you are able to make edits, but only admins can edit all work orders. Technicians can only edit/delete work orders they created. If technicians need something updated, they will need to reach out to the company admin.

How can you let a co-worker or manager know an update or important note about a work order?

Click the Updates tab on the work order menu and @mention the co-worker/manger and let them know the important information. You can only @mention users who are active in UpKeep.

Unable to Complete Work Order?

Make sure you have filled out every detail required for completion. Sometimes this can be missing time or a task left incomplete.
