Add Multiple [Module] Assets Where Default Category matches Work Order Category
Streamlines the process of adding multiple Assets to a Work Order by narrowing the list of available options to only those Assets that have the Work Order's Category listed as their Default Work Order Category.
Example: An agency has 100 vehicles in its fleet, and they are assigned among five departments. In Lucity Web, the agency has a Fleet Category for each department, and each vehicle is set to default to its department's Category. When users add vehicles to a Work Order, they run this tool to limit the pick-list of Vehicle options to those in the desired department.
