For week two of our 3-week series on the upcoming 4.0 version, we will highlight several of the key enhancments to existing modules within Maintenance Connection:
Work Order Rapid Entry Tool
The Work Order Rapid Entry Tool now allows entry of Meter Readings, Requested Date and User Defined Fields. Rapid Entry Preferences can be defined to determine whether or not these fields should display.
Asset Module > History Tab > Work Orders Sub-tab
The Work Orders (History) Sub-Tab now includes a “Group by Status” indicator, allowing work orders to be grouped by current status. Actual hours are also now displayed on this page.
Document Attachments
Customers with an onsite installation of Maintenance Connection will have access to a new tool that allows for quick uploading of files directly to a record, such as a work order. Files, such as documents or PDFs, can be uploaded directly; they no longer need to be placed in the Documents Module prior to attaching to a record. This new feature is available for work orders, assets, purchase orders, inventory items, labor records, procedures and company records.
Miscellaneous Enhancements
The following additional enhancements are included in Maintenance Connection Release 4.0:
- Purchase Orders: Security has been enhanced to ensure that users without proper access cannot delete a Purchase Order.
- Work Orders: Tasks Page has been enhanced to allow special characters to be entered in the “Final Reading” field.
- Inventory: A new field has been added to the Details Page to enter a website address, such as a vendor page or ordering website.
- Labor Timesheet Entry: A new preference to specify the start of the workweek has been added, along with filter criteria for workweek that will correspond to this preference.
have been added to allow for uploading of documents, images and miscellaneous files. Uploaded documents will automatically be added to the Documents Module and associated with the generated work order. Onsite customers will also be able to upload miscellaneous files that will only be associated only with the generated work order. On the Service Requester Status Screen (below), users can now create unlimited notes to be associated with the work order. The Service Requester Status Screen will also now honor filter criteria when users move to the next page.
