Repair Order Tags
Here, we have to configure Repair Order Tags before creating a Repair Order since they are essential indicators for efficient issue tracing. This can be done using the Repair Order Tags option of the Configuration Menu.
Just create a new tag using the New button and edit the tag name simply, as shown below.
To ensure a well-organized workflow and efficient issue tracking, create many tags for different requirements, discard them with ease, and open large screens for information.
