Giving your work orders clear, accurate procedure names helps everyone on your team know exactly what needs to be done, whether it’s a repair, parts replacement, renewal, or something else. If the default list doesn’t include what you need, you can simply create a custom procedure name.

Here’s a simple, step-by-step guide to adding your own custom procedure names right in your TMS. 

Step 1:  Navigate to Settings
From the left-hand navigation, select Settings.

Step 2: Go to Work Order
In the TMS Customization locate Work Order.

Step 3: Select Work Order Type
Once the screen opens, you can select an existing Work Order Type that best fits your new procedure. e.g Renewal, Repairs, Accidents etc.
