Work Orders
Build work orders, set scope and timelines, and move them through their lifecycle.
Create a work order
Add a work order to an approved project, fill in the timeline, resources and scope, then move it to Ready so it can be scheduled.
What are the work order statuses and how do they flow?
Every work order in WorkSkedge moves through a fixed lifecycle: Created → Ready → Draft Schedule → Assigned → Active → Complete, with On Hold and Pending Approval as side states. Each status controls what you can do next — scheduling only unlocks at Ready, and Complete is terminal.
How do I see who changed a work order and when?
WorkSkedge automatically snapshots every change made to a work order once it is Assigned or beyond. Open the work order's detail drawer and click Version History to see every version, who saved it, and a side-by-side comparison of what changed.
How do I assign a work order to a vendor instead of employees?
Set the work order's "Performed by" field to Vendor, pick an approved vendor from the dropdown, optionally attach a purchase order with a budget, and set the expected date range. The vendor manages their own people — no employee assignment is needed.
