A global procedure is a procedure created at the Global level and shared across multiple sub-organizations. Global procedures are identified by a Global Procedure tag.

Assign Procedure Fields to Teams or Users​

You can make procedure fields assignable to one or more teams or users. When a field is assignable, an assigned user must complete it before the work order that includes the procedure can be completed.

You can create a global procedure with assignable fields, but you can't assign the fields from the global organization. Instead sub-organizations that use the procedure make the assignments. They can choose to:

  • Assign the procedure fields in the procedure itself. In that case the fields will have the same assignees in every work order.
  • Assign the procedure fields when they create work orders that use the procedure.

For more information about assignable procedure steps, see Procedure Fields.
