Printing Starts Settings

Introduction

A System Admin User can decide if a work order will automatically be switched to “In Progress” status if printed. This is the default in the Hippo system. This setting can be removed so that printing a work order will not change the status.

Instructions

1. On the Global Settings grid, in the “Setting” column, look for “printing starts work order” and notice the check in the box under the “Value” column. If a user would like the work order status to change to “In Progress” if printed, keep the check in the box.
2. To remove this setting, click on the checkmark in the box.

3. Hit the “Save” button found in the top right corner.
   
4. Log out of the Hippo system, then log back into Hippo, or click on the “Refresh” icon. This will adjust the system and will apply to all work orders.
