You create or modify work order assignee records by clicking New Work Order Assignee or Edit in the View section of Work Orders | Assignees or Coding Definitions | Work Orders | Assignees. The editor contains the following:

Details section: Contains basic information about this assignee.

Name: The name of the assignee, selected from the Contacts table. For more on contacts, see Contacts.

Business Phone, Mobile Phone, Email: Information obtained from the Contacts table once you've specified a "Name".

Receive Notifications: If this is checkmarked, and if your database has the MainBoss Service license key, this assignee will be sent e-mail whenever a history record is created for this work order. In particular, the assignee receives an e-mail notification whenever someone adds a comment to the work order.

In the first notification, assignees will receive the original "Work Description" of the work order. In subsequent notifications, assignees will receive comments from work order history records, but not the "Work Description".

Comments: Any comments you want to associate with this assignee.

Work Order Assignments section: Lists any work orders to which this person has been assigned.

Save: Saves the current record. The editor window stays open in case you want to make more changes to the same record.

Save & New: Saves the current record and sets up the window for you to enter a new record. Fields in the new record will be blank or set to default values.

Save & Close: Saves the current record and closes the editor window.

Cancel: Closes the window without saving any changes you've made to the record since the last time you saved. When you Save the record, the Cancel button changes to Close, indicating that you can safely close the window without losing any changes.

Close: Closes the window. This button only appears after you've saved changes with Save or before you've entered any data at all. Otherwise, the button is labeled Cancel.
