Quick Add - Work Order

Using the Quick Add filters, users can create work orders according to certain filters (Department, Type, Main Task, Priority, etc.). Filters can be saved to create a work order with the same information the next time. Filters are saved per user account and will not appear on other user accounts. Note – only pre-set filters can be used on mobile devices. New filters must be created on the web.
