How to Add or Update Job Activities

Job Activity is a useful field on the work order for reporting as it can provide insights about work being performed across facilities

This article is for FMI Works users who have been given the permission of Reference Administrator or System Administrator 

What Job Activity is used for 

The Job Activity field on a work order is used in conjunction with a field called Service Type

Together, these fields provide important information about the work being performed.  Primarily, they add value to reporting by: 

  • Segmenting the work being performed into logical groups. 
  • Comparing the different types of work with other groups.
  • Monitoring trends of increasing or decreasing workload.   

When linked with Service Type, further insights can be unlocked. For example, we can break down the detail further by looking at carpentry or electrical work and determine whether it is reactive, capital or planned maintenance related.   

The other benefit is Job Activity can improve searching outcomes when trying to find one or more specific work orders.
