This article explains how to use different views in the Work Orders module, and how to use filters to control which work orders you see.

View Work Orders in the Web Application​

The MaintainX web application has the following work order views:

  • To Do View: shows a list of work orders, and details about the selected work order side by side.
  • Table View: lists work orders in a table where you can sort them, and edit them in bulk.
  • Calendar View: shows work orders for each day in a week or month.
  • Workload View: shows your team's workload and available capacity, and allows you to assign and schedule work. For details, see About Resource Planning.

To Do View​

To Do view is a two-pane view. The list pane on the left lists work orders. When you select a work order from the list, the details pane on the right displays the work order details.

The To Do tab lists work orders with the following statuses:

The To Do View won't show work orders that have a future Start Date. However, they will appear in every other view.

When you set the Start Date and it's in the future, the work order will only appear on that date.

It displays work orders in the following groups in the following order:

GroupIncludes
Assigned to MeWork orders assigned to the current user.
Assigned to My TeamsWork orders assigned to one or more of the current user's teams.
Created by MeWork orders the current user created.
All Open Work OrdersWork orders that are Open or On Hold, and don't belong to any other group.

You can:

  • Use the Sort By options to control the order of work orders in each group.
  • Select Mark all as read to mark all work orders as read.

The Done tab lists work orders with status: Completed or Canceled.

The Sort By line displays the order that work orders in the Done tab appear in.

To Do View Details Pane​

When you select a work order in the list pane, it opens in the details pane, where you can view, update, and edit it.
