Workflows
Follow the required work order steps in Android OutSmart NEXT.
Workflows
A workflow guides you through a work order one step at a time.
Your company defines the steps and their order. This helps prevent missed work.
What you can do
Track completed, active, and remaining steps.
Complete required work before you finish the order.
Use steps for timers, forms, photos, materials, and signatures.
Add comments, free fields, projects, and internal memos.
Review history before signing and sending the work order.
How workflows work
Each step opens the matching part of the work order.
Your workflow can include a timer, description, comment, photos, materials, hours, forms, free fields, project, internal memo, history, signature, or send step.
Some steps are optional. Others are required before completion.
Required steps can enforce minimum photos or material lines. They can also require a comment, hours, a completed form, or a signature.
Completed steps show as done. The active step is highlighted. Remaining steps stay open.
Complete a workflow
When a workflow blocks completion
A required step is incomplete.
Check unfinished steps for missing photos, materials, hours, forms, comments, or signatures.
You can add more photos or materials than the configured minimum.
Workflow availability
Your company decides which workflow steps appear.
Steps can differ by company or work-order type. Follow them in order where required.
After sending, the work order usually moves to the archive and becomes read-only.
