Work Type Management
Work Type is a template for the services in a work order. Use these templates to add the service details to the work orders quickly and to avoid repetitive data entry. A work type will be used in the Services And Products module to link the skills and products to a service. When a service task (with which a work type is linked) is added to a work order, the skills and products associated with the service automatically gets added to the work order.
