Work order types

Work order types are used to categorize work orders. For example, you might have work orders that are related to preventive maintenance or corrective maintenance.

A work order type defines an affiliation with a work order lifecycle model. A work order lifecycle model defines the work order lifecycle states that can be set on a work order. (Examples of work order lifecycle states include Created, In Process, and Finished.)

For more information about work order lifecycle states and project stages, see Work order lifecycle states.
