Work Order Notifications

Lucity has the ability to generate automated Notifications for Work Orders. These Notifications are often based on the Task noted on the Request record or the Supervisor assigned to oversee the work.

Any automated email Notifications the system sends in relation to the Work Order are recorded in the Work Order > Tracking grid.

Work Task Notifications

General Work Task Notifications are designed to communicate standard messages regarding Work Orders to designated people via email or printed report.

Users can customize Work Task Notifications to meet their communications needs. Such messages are set up in the Notification module and applied through the Work Task Setup module's Notification grid.

For example, a user could set up a Work Task Notification to automatically inform Fred when a Sewer Cleaning work order is created.

Problem Notifications

Problem Notifications are designed to communicate standard messages regarding Work Orders dealing with a specific problem to designated people via email or printed report. These notifications can also be configured to only send out when specific Categories are selected on a work request or work order.

Users can customize Problem Notifications to meet their communications needs. Such messages are set up in the Notification module and applied through the Work Problem Setup module's Notification grid.

For example, a user could set up a Work Problem Notification to automatically inform Bill when a Sewer Illicit Discharge cleanup work order is created.

Start Date Notifications

This function allows a single email notification to be sent on the Start Date of a Work Order, in addition to any notifications sent on the work order creation date.

Usually a work order is created shortly before the work needs to be done. All task notifications are sent when a work order is created. However, there are times when a work order is generated ahead of time, either manually or using a PM. In these cases it might be better to have a notification generate on the Work Order's start date reminding employees of the work.

Status Change Notifications

A Status Change Notification alerts the assigned Supervisor via email of Status changes associated with a particular Main Task on an open Work Order.

Note: Status Change Notifications cannot be overridden. That is, once the Status Change Notification is enabled for a Work Order Task, users do not have the ability to prevent the system from sending the notification for a particular Work Order.
