The Work Order screen is your central hub for tracking everything related to a specific production or assembly task. Whether you're managing a few units or overseeing a full production run, this screen gives you a detailed view of what’s happening β€” and what’s next.

Let’s break it down.


πŸ”Ή Header Area

Right at the top, you’ll find key info about the work order:

  • Work Order Name & ID – The unique identifier for this job.

  • Project / Customer Name – Shows which customer or internal project this work order belongs to.

  • Revision – The current version of the work order.

  • Status – Where the work order stands (e.g., New, In Progress, Finished).

  • Priority – How urgent the job is (Normal, High, etc.).

  • Assigned User – The person or team currently responsible.

  • Linked Workflow – Displays which workflow or SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) is connected.


πŸ“¦ Units & Sessions Table

This section shows all the units or devices included in the work order.

Each row represents a single unit or session and includes:

  • Session Name – A name or identifier for the unit/session.

  • Serial Number – A unique code if available.

  • Status – The current progress status (e.g., New, In Progress, Finished).

  • Station – Where the unit currently is in the production process.

  • Quantity – Number of items in that session.

  • Active Users – Who's currently working on it.

  • Actions – Quick access to view or interact with that unit.

🧠 Think of this table as your real-time dashboard for every unit in this work order.


πŸ“‹ Parts & Materials

This is where you can see what’s needed to complete the job.

For each part required:

  • P/N – Part Number (internal code)

  • Description – Name of the part

  • Unit – How it’s measured (e.g., Each, Litre)

  • Required Quantity – Total amount needed for this order

This section is great for double-checking that everything's in place before production kicks off.


πŸ“ˆ Change Log

Every status update or key field change is logged here for visibility and traceability.

Each entry includes:

  • User – Who made the change

  • Old Value / New Value

  • Field Name – What was changed

  • Date & Time – When the change happened

🧾 This is your go-to place if you need an audit trail.


⏱ Timing Section

Helpful metrics to understand timing and efficiency:

  • Created At – When the work order was first made

  • Released At – When it was officially started

  • Start & End – Actual execution timestamps

  • Cycle Time – Total elapsed time from start to finish

  • Net Time – The actual hands-on time spent


🧩 Custom Fields

Depending on your setup, you might also see extra fields like:

  • Order Number

  • Estimated Price

  • Station Code

  • Product Revision

  • Any other custom info relevant to your operation

These fields are flexible and customizable based on your processes.


πŸŽ› Icons & Buttons

Throughout the screen, you'll notice helpful action buttons and icons:

  • πŸ–¨ Print – Generate a printable version

  • πŸ”— Linked Workflow – View the related workflow

  • πŸ“œ Change Log – View the full status history

  • ⬅️ Back/Exit – Return to the main dashboard


βœ… That’s the Work Order Screen!

This screen is designed to give you everything you need to track, understand, and manage a work order at a glance. It brings together part details, unit progress, user accountability, and timing β€” all in one place.
