Use the Recent Repairs dialog box to view recent repairs to the asset on the current work order. You can review the recent repairs to an asset to help you determine the following information about an asset:
failure trends
the true source of a problem
potential operator abuse
Your system administrator uses the Organizations (Tr) application to define a "recent repair" in one of two ways:
a work order for the asset that occurred in the last n days
one of the last n work orders for the asset
For example, your system administrator can specify that any work order for the asset that occurred in the last 90 days is a recent repair. Or the system can select the most recent five work orders, or the most recent ten, as recent repairs. Recent repairs are listed on the Recent Repairs dialog box.
Your system administrator can specify that the Recent Repairs dialog box should be displayed when you specify an asset number on a work order.
You also can display the Recent Repairs dialog box manually.
Open Work Order Tracking (Tr), Quick Reporting (Tr), or Mechanic's Clipboard (Tr).
Display an existing work order or create one.
If necessary, specify an asset in the Asset field.
Tab out or click outside of the Asset field. If the applicable Organizations (Tr) setting is selected, the Recent Repairs dialog box is displayed.

Select the Include Records from Child Assets? check box to include recent work orders for any child assets, grandchildren, and so on, of the asset. The default is to not show records for child assets.
