Work Order Workflow Configuration
Workflow option: States
The workflow that is responsible for creating and filling work orders is broken-down into various
stages of completion called
S
TATES
. Each state is associated with
T
RANSITIONS
(actions) that
advance the work order to the next state (stage of completion).
When
S
TATES
is selected from the
W
ORKFLOW
OPTION
drop-down list, the Workflow page
displays the available states that have been defined for the current work order workflow.
