The Permits tab shows a list of permits that are required to complete the work order. If the work order has been raised for a location and/or an asset that have permits, those permits will be listed for the work order.
Permits must be issued before the work order can be commenced, and must be returned before the work order can be completed.
The information on the Permits tab is:
Permit Name - This is the name of the permit.
Issued - This indicates whether the permit has been issued for the work order. Once the work order has been commenced, you cannot undo the permit issue.
Issue Date - This is the date and time that the permit was issued. The issue date is automatically updated when the permit is issued, and cannot be edited.
Returned - This indicates whether the permit has been returned for the work order. You cannot return a permit until the work order has been commenced.
Return Date - This is the date and time that the permit was returned. The return date is automatically updated when the permit is returned, and cannot be edited.
You can view a permit from the Work Order Window Permits tab. To do so, you must first have associated the permits' file type with some sort of external viewer program through Windows. For example, to view documents, you must have associated files of type "DOC" with Microsoft Word, or some other document viewer.
Select the Permit tab on the Work Order Window.
Double click on the selected permit.
