# Creating and viewing a work order

## Creating and viewing a work order

Create a work order when you need to register a new job from the field.

Open an existing work order to review planning, client data, forms, files, and status.

### What you can do

* Create a new work order from **Work Order**.
* Open assigned work orders from **Overview** or **Work Order**.
* Review the full job before you start.
* Open completed work orders later from **Overview - Archive**.

### Create a work order

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open the work order list

Go to **Work Order**.

Tap the add button if your role allows mobile creation.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Enter the basic details

Select the client or relation.

Add the job description.

Fill the visible planning and status fields.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Save the work order

Save the entry to create the work order.

The new work order appears in the work order list.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### View a work order

Open a work order to see:

* **Client Information**
* **Job Details**
* **Schedule**
* **Hours**, **Materials**, **Forms**, and **Documents**

You can also see linked **Objects** and **Resources (Equipment)** when they are available.

### Before you start

Check required fields first.

Some fields can be locked, hidden, or prefilled by configuration.

### Active and archived work orders

Active work orders stay editable until completion.

Completed work orders usually move to **Archive**.

Archived work orders are typically read-only.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledge.out-smart.com/mobile-app/android-outsmart-next/core-functionalities/creating-and-viewing-a-work-order.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
