Creating Work Order Mass Update Templates

Access the Work Order Mass Update Template Entry form.

Template Name

Enter a name for the unique work order mass update template. You must complete this field.

Template Description

Enter a description for the template.

Hide tab and disable fields on the {name} Tab for edit

Select this check box to hide the tab and the fields on this tab in the Work Order Mass Update program (P48714). When you hide the tab and fields, you can enter values in the fields in the template, but the system does not display the values in the Work Order Mass Update program or use them to update work orders when you perform mass updates.

Lock

Select this check box to lock the value in the template for the field that corresponds to the Lock check box. When you lock a value, the system enables you to change the value in the template, but does not enable you to change the value in the Work Order Mass Update program. In the Work Order Mass Update program, the value in a locked field is the value that will be written to the work order record for the work orders selected and validated for updating, unless:

• The tab on which the locked field appears is hidden.

• The field is not supported for the work order type.

• The locked field does not have a value. You cannot update a field to blank using the work order mass update process.
