Add Sub-Operations

Break down a complex operation into smaller sub-operations for easier tracking.

A Work Order for overhauling an industrial air compressor can contain the following sub-operations:
  1. Operation: Dismantle the Compressor
    • Sub-Operation 1: Remove external covers and panels.
    • Sub-Operation 2: Disconnect electrical connections.
    • Sub-Operation 3: Detach motor and compressor unit.
  2. Operation: Inspect and Service Components
    • Sub-Operation 1: Check bearings for wear.
    • Sub-Operation 2: Inspect and replace seals.
    • Sub-Operation 3: Clean and lubricate moving parts.

Adding sub-operations makes complex maintenance tasks easier to manage, execute, and track.

To add sub-operations:

  1. In the Operations tab, tap the More icon next to the operation and select Add Sub Operation.
