Create and Delete Work Orders

Create work orders to send to your field crews, instructing them what tasks are to be performed at a job site, as well as specifying the design, tolerances, and other settings to use. Multiple work orders can be created for a site.

Warning: Work orders are not backward compatible between SCS900 version 3.0 (v3) and versions prior to 3.0. (v2). Once you assign a work order to a v3 controller, you can no longer assign it to a v2 controller. The only exception to this is when you assign a v2 work order to the Unassigned controller. If you need to assign a v2 work order to another controller temporarily, before you assign it to another v2 controller, use the Unassigned controller.
Warning: The Underlying surface design field in not present in v3 work orders. If you assign a v2 work order to a v3 controller, you will not be able to reference an underlying surface design, if you have specified one.

Prerequisites:

To create a work order:

  1. Do one of the following:
  2. Type a unique name in the Work order name box.

    Note: Different work orders assigned to different controllers can have the same name

  3. Select a single controller on which to access the work order in the Controllers list.

    Note: Each work order can only be assigned to one controller. This is an SCS900 requirement.

  4. Click OK. The Work Order Editor displays. See Edit a Work Order.

To delete a work order:
