Associating an Asset Type with Work Order Types

When you create an association of an Asset Type with types of Work Orders, you consolidate and filter data displayed for users to view during daily processing. As a result, the user only sees applicable work order types for that particular asset type, which eliminates the possibility of accidentally choosing an invalid option from a large list of choices.

You can define, edit, and remove the Work Order types and Asset Types resulting in the ability to have many Work Order types associated with many Asset Types and many Asset Types associated with many Work Order types.
