FAQ

Work Order FAQs

Common questions about tracking and managing work orders in Nexus.

Every work order can be linked directly to a specific asset. When you create a work order from an asset, all relevant details (location, specs, history) are automatically included. When work is completed, the cost and labor are tracked against that asset's maintenance history.
Yes. Vendors can view and update work orders from any device. They see only the work orders assigned to them, with all the context they need: location, photos, priority, and special instructions. Updates sync in real-time.
