Work Request Status and Groupingβ
Every work request has a status. You can see the status in the work request list and the work request details. By default, MaintainX groups requests in the work requests list by status.
Work requests can have the following statuses:

Status | Description | |
---|---|---|
1 | Pending | The request has not been reviewed by an Administrator. |
2 | Approved | An Administrator approved the request and created a work order. The work order ID appears in the |
3 | Declined | An Administrator declined the request. |
3 | Done | An Administrator approved the request and created a work order, and the work order is complete. |
Work Request Grouping with Request Routingβ
If your organization uses request routing, MaintainX groups work requests according to assignment instead of status:
Assignment | Description |
---|---|
Not Assigned | The request is not assigned to a specific team. Any Administrator can see and process it. |
Assigned to My Teams | The request is assigned to a team that you are a member of. |
Assigned to other Teams | The request is assigned to a team that you are not a member of. |
You can still see the status of each request in the work request list (only on mobile) and the work request details.
Request routing allows Requesters to assign work requests to specific teams, who can approve or decline them. For details, see Set up Request Routing.
