    • Waiting for feedback
  • When updating a job status, choose to notify specific personnel.
  • Preconfigure email notifications to be sent to specific people whenever jobs are created, completed and modified.
  • Create a simple fault reporting procedure, composed of two questions:
    • Where is the fault?
    • What is the fault?
  • Define an unlimited number of common breakdowns and non-breakdown issues for an asset.
  • Breakdowns enter the worklist as faults. Non-breakdowns enter the worklist as job requests.
  • When reporting a fault, choose a description from the common breakdown list, the non-breakdown issue list, or the equipment's historical records.
  • Faults can be marked as a "safety job". These are automatically included in a dedicated worklist for easy access.
