Predefined Saved Searches

Saved searches are a powerful search tool where the search-criteria has been saved for future use; to access the saved searches drop-down, click in the search bar. The default saved search for Work Orders is the "Show All" search.

These saved searches will appear in the drop-down menu and can also be used for dashboards and reports.

By default, MobiWork provides several saved searches for you to use, which are organized by status and date (e.g., Rejected, Approved, Open, etc.):

The list of statuses that can be used in predefined searches are below:

• "Open" will display all work orders that have not yet been assigned to a user or dispatched.

• "Waiting For Dispatch" will display all work orders that have been assigned to a user but have not yet been dispatched.

• "Not Assigned" will display all work orders that have not been assigned to a user yet.

• "Not Scheduled" will display all work orders that have been created but are not scheduled yet (they are not assigned a date or time).

• "Created" will display all the work orders that were created on the specified day (i.e., created today, created this week, and created this month).

• "Scheduled" will display the work orders that are scheduled for a specified date (i.e., today, yesterday, this week, last week, and this month).

• "Dispatched" will display work orders that are assigned to a user, indicating their readiness to commence the work order, along with a scheduled date and time.

• "In Transit" will display the users that are currently en route to their assigned work orders.

• "On Site" will display users that are currently at the designated work order location.

• "Need Follow Up" will display work orders that the user has outstanding tasks on and will need to follow-up on in the future.

• Pending

• "Completed" will display work orders that have been completed. (i.e., there are no outstanding tasks needed by the user and all Action Items have been completed).

• SLA

You can access any of these saved searches by clicking on the "Search Area" and selecting your desired "Predefined Saved Search" from the drop-down menu.

If you would like to view all your work orders, click on the "Show All" option from the drop-down menu:
