Overview

RDP's "Work Order and Asset Management" module is designed to automate the process of entering and completing a work order request, as well as track all fixed assets. The Work Order Monitor screen is the core element of the module. It displays the current status of all work orders, and auto-refreshes as work orders are added, edited or closed. It also has the ability to bill owners or reservations and create payables for outside vendors for the work completed. The work order module is fully integrated into RDP.
