How It Works
From setup to rollout
A team member creates a change order log record with required details and supporting files.
The responsible owner reviews the record, assigns next actions, and updates status.
Queues show overdue, blocked, high-priority, or awaiting-response items.
Dashboards summarize volume, status mix, categories, owner workload, and closure progress.
Completed records remain searchable for reporting, audit review, and future planning.
