154 Certification Study Guide Series: IBM Maximo Asset Management V7.1 automatically, including the new ones. You may disable this option separately for each task. Figure 8- 12 shows an example of a work order that enables flow control in the work order level. The work type automatically starts the flow sequence when the status is changed to INPRG ( in progress). Figure 8- 12 Work order that enables flow control and automatically starts it When the work order, shown in Figure 8- 12, changes its status to INPRG, its tasks automatically start their sequence flow. The first task in the sequence changes its status to in progress; the other tasks continue with the same status. When the current task changes its status to completed, the next task changes its status to in progress. As the work type defines the end of the process in the completed status, the work order is completed when all tasks are completed. By default if a work type is not defined, and to facilitate flow control use, the work order starts the process flow when it is INPRG, and ends when it is in the COMP ( completed) status. 8.2.3 Flow action Work order flow action functionality is used to execute actions when the work order is started with process flow control. The action to be fired is selected in the Flow Action field, located in the Work Order tab and in each task definition. The Note: Work orders can automatically start tasks flow control considering the work type defined. Tasks can automatically follow their sequences when the work order is under flow control.
