Homepage Widgets
Your homepage is organized into four main rectangles:
🟨 My Work Orders
Shows all open tasks assigned to you — including manufacturing and maintenance jobs.
Each row displays:
Work Order Number
Part Number
Serial Numbers
Description and more
🟨 Workflows
Displays all unscheduled, on-demand workflows such as:
Engineering troubleshooting
Quality checks
Special reports
These do not require pre-planning but offer full documentation and traceability.
🟨 My Forms
All forms you’ve created or that are assigned to you.
Only open (in-progress) forms appear here.
🟨 Forms Waiting for Your Approval
These forms require your sign-off before they move forward.
Think of this as your digital approval inbox.
