Integrated work order entry

Work orders in Field Service Management store information about requested work, including customer names and addresses, locations where work is to be performed, and any associated configuration items. Work orders can include one or more tasks that contain specific details about the work to be performed, such as required agent skills or part requirements.

Work order templates automatically populate the work order with work instructions, tasks and parts required for the field agent to complete the work order.

Integrating Field Service Management with other ServiceNow products enables you to create a work order from within the other product's workspace.

When you create a work order from an integrated product:

  • Data from the product record automatically copies to the new work order.
  • The work order is available from within the integrated product.

You can create a work order from the following integrated record types:

  • Incident
