The Comments tab enables you to display and record comments about work orders.
Tip: To limit the display of information in the grid and maximize performance, use the filter. You can sort on work order location ID/year/number, equipment ID, job status, job type, PM service, and employee ID, among other values. If you filter on PM service, PM and inspection services on repair orders and additional services on PM orders will also be retrieved.
The fields in the top section of this tab define the data that displays.
