Switch a work order to edit mode

Turn on edit mode for a work order from the detail modal to change its status, completion, assignees or files.

Audience: Administrator or assigned person
Screen: Work order detail modal
Verified version: App 1.0.0

Goal

Turn on edit mode for a work order to make its fields editable: status, supplier, dates, cost, notes, photos and documents. Without this mode, the modal stays in reading mode.

Audience

Administrator of the building or a person assigned to the work order.

Prerequisites

Be an administrator or assigned to the work order.
The building must not be read-only.
Have opened the work order's detail modal.

Steps

In the detail modal, click "Edit".
The badge switches to "Edit mode": the buttons become Save and Cancel, and the fields become active.
Make your changes (status, completion, assignees, files, and so on).
Click "Save" to confirm, or "Cancel" to discard.

Unsaved changes

If you leave the modal without saving, an "unsaved changes" dialog asks you to confirm. Save before closing so you don't lose anything.
