Each job order in FieldEx includes key information such as job type, status, assigned asset, customer site, checklist forms, spare parts, attachments, and faults. Technicians should review these details before starting work to ensure they understand what’s required and are fully prepared for the task.

Why this matters: Reviewing work order details ensures no steps are missed and helps technicians complete jobs efficiently and accurately.
