Suspend a Permit on a Work Order

availability

This feature is only available on the MaintainX® web application.

In some situations, work may need to stop after a permit has been approved or becomes active. Users with the appropriate permissions can suspend a permit, which changes its status to Suspended and blocks progress on the work order.

Suspending a permit always requires a reason. Once the issue has been resolved, a user with the appropriate permissions can resume the permit, allowing work to continue.

To suspend a permit:

1. From the sidebar, select Work Orders.
2. Select the work order with the permit you want to suspend.
3. Select the permit.
4. In the permit, select (more options).
5. Select Suspend.
6. Enter the reason why you want to suspend the permit.
7. Select Suspend.

The permit is now suspended, and the work order is now locked.

Resume a Suspended Permit on a Work Order

1. From the sidebar, select Work Orders.
2. Select the work order with the permit you want to resume.
3. Select the permit.
4. In the permit, select (more options).
5. Select Resume.

The permit is now back to its last status before the suspension.

Delete a Permit on a Work Order
