Service orders list
The Service Orders List screen displays all open service orders in the workspace you're currently viewing. The name of that workspace is shown at the top of the screen. You'll spend most of your time in My Work—these are the service orders that have been assigned to you or that you've pulled into My Work.
If the Service Orders List screen doesn't open automatically when you log in to HotSOS, tap Service Orders in the pane on the left.
For example, in the service order below, Guest Alan Flood reported an issue with a floor lamp. He is staying in Suite 300. This service order includes attachments and remarks, and has been assigned to Crystal Oldfield as a priority 1 issue. Because it was assigned only a minute ago, Crystal hasn't had a chance to start the service order yet.
The list screen may tell you everything you need to know to respond to an issue. To see even more information—including any attachments and remarks—tap the service order to open the Service Order Details screen.
Here's what you can learn about a service order from this screen:
Pull/Release
The Pull/Release icon indicates whether or not the service order is currently assigned to someone:
- The service order is currently unassigned and can be pulled into My Work.
- Another user has already pulled the service order into their workspace. The name of the user is displayed in the bottom-right corner of the service order.
- The service order is assigned to you and is also displayed in My Work. Your name is displayed in the bottom-right corner of the service order.
