Using Workflow in Report Pro

How to use the Workflow Manager in Report Pro

Things To Note

  • Each tile represents a ticket for a vehicle. The term “ticket” will be used throughout this article to refer to any of these phases: Estimate, Repair Order, or Invoice (unless filtered out). The color of each tile corresponds to the phase as indicated in the Workflow filters window.

  • The tile displays the customer's name and vehicle type, along with a running clock that shows how long the ticket has been in its current status. Moving the tile to a different status restarts the clock, and returning it to the original status continues the elapsed time. The clock does not retain previous elapsed time if the tile is moved back and forth.

  • If a Work Order Time in Status Alert is set, the tile will flash when the clock exceeds the allotted time, indicating that action is needed for that ticket.

  • Total hours for each ticket, based on assigned job time, are displayed above each tile in the status column.

  • You can filter the Workflow view to see just one tech's workflow or a whole shop, see Apply Filters to Workflow View for more information
