Troubleshooting: Can’t Find a Specific Work Order?

If you’re having trouble finding a specific Work Order follow these steps:

  1. Check Your Filters: Make sure your filters are set correctly. For example, if your Work Order is closed, ensure that you’re not filtering by "Open" Work Orders only.

  2. Search Function: Use the search bar at the top of the Work Orders page. Enter specific keywords or the exact title of the Work Order.

  3. Archived Work Orders: If the Work Order was completed a while ago, it might have been archived. Make sure to check the "Archived" filter to see if it’s stored there.

  4. Reset Filters: If you’re still unable to find the Work Order, try resetting all filters to view the full list of Work Orders. This can help determine if any filtering criteria are inadvertently hiding the Work Order you’re looking for.


Best Practices for Filtering

  • Regularly Update Filters: Make sure your filters reflect the current status and priorities of your projects.

  • Save Common Filters: If you frequently use the same filter criteria, consider saving them for quick access in the future.

  • Audit Archived Work Orders: Periodically review archived Work Orders to ensure important tasks aren’t overlooked.

By effectively using the filtering options in UpKeep, you can maintain better control over your maintenance tasks and ensure that every Work Order is easily accessible when needed.
