DPAS SCR: 01858

Description:

DPAS work order processing can involve entering repetitive information across multiple sections or sub work orders. User can experience selecting the same option multiple times when adding, updating or closing a work order. Having to repeat the process adds task time and increases processing errors.

Recommended:

Expand default options under User Preferences:

1. Add preference search criteria for work plan browse within work order; use radio button for Other Activity Plans. When selected the My Plans toggle will default to off (grayed out) when the user preforms a work plan browse to add or update work orders.

2. Add preference for default Work Order State Code when adding a sub work order. User would select a preference from drop-down menu listing available Work Order State Code options. When the preference is set, the Work Order State Code pre-populates when adding a new sub work order. User can then change the Work Order State Code as needed if default does not apply to specific work order.

3. Add preference for default Work Order State Code when closing a work order. User would select a preference from drop-down menu listing available Work Order State Code options. When the preference is set, all Work Order State Codes will default to the user preference when the Work Order Status Code is changed to C – Closed. User can then change the Work Order State Code as needed if default does not apply to specific work order.
