The Work order lists screen is your start page on the Mobile Client. Two predefined lists are shown:
- Work scheduled to me (this list shows the work order jobs/lines that are scheduled to you, and they are available online and offline).
- Downloaded work (this list shows all work order jobs/lines that are available to you online and offline).
The number of work order jobs/lines in a list is shown in the gray box.
Work order lists overview.
Create your own work order lists to see only the work orders that are relevant for you or certain user groups.
Setup
The setup for creating lists is mainly done and maintained from the mobile client described in the steps below. Deciding who has access to certain lists is specified in the article Distribute Saved Search Lists to Users.
- On the Work order lists screen, select the 'context menu' button and Creae list.
- Start by giving your list a name as seen in screenshot 01.
- On the Create list screen, you see a list of parameters that you can use to define your list. Make one or more selections in the list. In the example below in screenshot 02 and 03, you can see that the parameter 'scheduled worker' is being selected.
- Note, the "Active" parameter is automatically set to "Yes", but you can change it as you require. When "Active" = "Yes" it means that the list you're creating only shows active work orders.
- Select the details for your list, and select Apply.
- Note, if you see an All/Clear toggle button in the upper-right corner of the screen, you can select All, if you want to select all options shown on the screen. Select Clear if you want to remove the selections.
- If required, repeat steps 3-4 to add more details to your list.
- When you've made your selections, select Create list.
- When you return to the Work order lists screen, you can see that the list has been added.
Example: The screenshots below create a list that shows the work orders scheduled for a colleague.
Editing and Deleting Lists
If you want to edit a list that you created: Select the list. Then select the 'context menu' button and Edit list. Make your changes, and save the list. You can't edit predefined lists.
From the Work order lists screen, you can delete a list that you created: Select the 'context menu' button and select Delete. You can't delete predefined lists.
Limit Results from Lists to Functional Location
It's possible to limit results shown on lists to functional locations that are assigned to maintenance workers. Read more here.

02 - Example of creating a list: Selecting the parameter 'Scheduled worker'.
03 - Example of creating a list: Selecting the scheduled worker that the list should be created for.
On the Work order lists screen or in a list (predefined and user-defined lists), you can start a search by selecting the search icon at the top.
You can search for:
- Work order ID
- Work order type name
- Job type ID
- Work order description
- Functional location name
- Functional location ID
Note
When you make a search on the Work order lists screen, you search in all active work orders. When you make a search in a list, you only search the contents of that list.
- On the Work order lists screen, or in a list, select the search icon. Enter a search string in the search field, or search by scanning a QR code or barcode. (See the article below for further explanation of searching using QR codes and barcodes).
- Search by scanning a QR code or barcode:
- Select the icon to the top right.
- Follow the instructions on the screen to scan a QR code.
- Search by entering a search string in the search field:
- Your search string may contain the entire ID or name, the middle of an ID or name, or part of the ID or name. Search works both in online and offline mode. Offline mode means searching the data available on your mobile device at the time of the search.
Example 1: If you enter 08* in the search field, the result is a list of work order IDs that start with the number 08.
Example 2: If you enter *3* in the search field, the result is a list of work order IDs that contain the number 3.
If you select a search result to go to a work order or work order job/line, the search string is reset.
Select or to cancel a search. The search string is deleted when you return to the Work order lists screen.
If you are using barcodes or QR codes to tag your assets/objects, locations, and items, you can use the QR code scanner and barcode scanner when searching in the app.
In the Work order lists overview, and within each work order list, you can search using a QR code or a barcode. We support the most widely used QR codes and barcodes.
- Click the Scan a code button in top right corner.
- Start scanning.
- The stored text from the QR code or barcode is passed to the standard search input and the search is performed.
Start scanning after selecting 'Scan a code'.
