You can trigger a work order for inspection based on a meter reading. This allows you to inspect or service equipment for time used, mileage, or any other condition you choose.

The work order trigger automatically creates a work order when the condition you set is met.

New work order triggers are no longer available

In the web application, you will be able to see the history of your work order triggers but you won't be able to create a new one. To create a new work order trigger in the web application, you can use workflow automations. For more information see, Workflow Automations.
