  1. Close the detail screen by clicking on the "X" in the top right corner, and finish all the remaining details to the Demand Work Order.
  2. The Resource can now complete the Demand Work Order as usual.

Note: Any asset that is reported down has an exclamation icon next to the asset on the work order. Hover your cursor over it to see date details.

Note: The Resource can add the reason for downtime, and the description of the repair in the Comments section of the Demand Work Order.

  1. Before the work order is actually closed, a window appears for the Resource to optionally report the equipment up again.

  2. Manually enter the downtime or use the time calculated by Hippo (Use this). Keep in mind to not report it up without entering downtime details.
  3. Hit Report Up.
