Work Order Categories

Work Order Categories are used by both standard Work Orders and patrol dispatches, they can be configured at Maintenance > General > Work Order Categories. Each Work Order Category can be shared between multiple dispatch Work Order types, this is achieved by assigning different dispatch and work order types to the Work Order Category.
