Frequently Asked Questions
What is a work order and why does it matter?
A work order is a structured request describing maintenance, repair, inspection or service tasks to be completed on an asset. Properly completed work orders reduce miscommunication, speed repair, and improve CMMS data quality, which leads to better planning and fewer repeat failures.
What fields should a quality work order include?
At minimum include: requester name & contact, date/time reported, asset ID & location, clear problem description (error codes/photos), priority, required parts (part numbers), safety/access notes (LOTO/permits), assigned trade/skill level, estimated labor hours, vendor/procurement fields, acceptance criteria and attachments for evidence.
How do I map work orders to my CMMS?
Map the work order fields to CMMS columns like asset_id, location, problem_code, priority, skill_level, estimated_time_mins and parts_list. Export the templates’ CSV/JSON, run a small test import (10–25 rows), fix any mapping gaps, then bulk import to ensure tasks are scheduled and mobile checklists align.
What are the best practices and common mistakes when creating work orders?
Best practices: keep forms concise, use picklists (priority/skill), include photos, and tie orders to asset history for root-cause analysis. Common mistakes: vague problem descriptions, missing or incorrect asset IDs/locations, no acceptance criteria, and no parts list, all of which cause repeat technician visits and longer MTTR.
