Reassign or Copy a Work Order

Save work by copying work orders that you want to reuse, or changing the controller to which a work order was assigned. Each work order can only be assigned to one controller at a time.

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.

Prerequisites:
