What is it?
A new tab in the Home Screen on app version 6.0.4 lets authorized users see work orders from any location they have access to.
Why does it matter?
Maintenance crews typically service multiple locations and need to see available work from all of them to plan out their day.
How does it work?

Home Screen
from the app, tap on the Home
button on the menu and tap on the Work Orders
tab. Note
that this user experience is designed to work best when you are connected to Jolt

You can
filter the list
by - Location
- Assigned to person
- Work order type
- Status
- Priority
>>>>>>>See the
Creating Work Order Templates
support article for more information on how to assign status and priority.Use the filters to select which set of work orders you want to look at.
The work order cards show the following information:
- Assigned to person's avatar or initials icon
- Work order location name
- Issue summary
- Work order number
- Due date
- Status
- Priority
When you tap on one of the cards, you are taken to that work order. If the work order is in a location other than the one you are connected to, the app will first switch locations. In the initial release (version 5.45.0), the app will not track the work order to the new location and you'll have to find it in the list and select it to work on it. In a future version of the app, tapping the work order card will land you on the work order in the new location.
You can specify items to be your status and priority items on a work order.
What is it?
This feature lets you set a multiple choice item to be the work order template status and priority so that you can filter by status and priority on the app.
Why is it important?
Since different work order types might use different multiple choice items for status and priority, this feature lets you customize your experience to suit your workflow.
How does it work?
To set you status and priority for a work order template, an authorized user can take the following steps after upgrading the Jolt app to v6.0.4:
- Navigate to Lists | Work Ordersand click on theTemplatestab.
- Select the work order you want to change and click on the Settingstab.
- Scroll to the Status & Prioritysection.
- In the dropdown, select the multiple choice item you want to use for status. Repeat this step for priority.

Option to customize the actions when a process in
Time & Temperature
fails. What is it?
In
Time & temperature
, each food handling process can be customized to require certain steps to take place when a process fails. Why does it matter?
Depending on the food and process, a kitchen manager may want certain actions taken when a food handling process fails. For example, if a soup isn't cooled below 70° F in under 2 hours, there could be an option to reheat the soup and try it again. Other foods may need to be discarded if the cooling processes doesn't complete successfully.
How does it work?
To customize the final actions for a failed process, take the following steps:
- A location website admin or above can log onto the Jolt Web Portaland navigate toLists | Time and Temperature.
- Select the process you want to modify and click on the Optionstab.
- At the bottom, click on the link that says Edit final actionsto open the failed process template.
- You can add and remove items to match the process you want your staff to take for a failed process.
- Save your changes.

When the process you change fails on the app, you will see the items on the final action list that must be completed to finish the process.
These items also display in reporting so you have a record of the steps taken for the failed process.
Note: This feature does not work with conditionally displayed items yet. That will be coming in the near future.

Lists
Conditional Display on Multiple Choice Items
The option to condition the display a list item on the answer to a multiple choice answer.
What is it?
You can now see multiple choice items in the conditional display dropdown box on a list. This feature will be available in 5.42.x or later after a short beta test period.
Why does it matter?
This feature expands the usefulness of conditional display to help keep your lists simple for end users by allowing you to hide items that only need to show if a previous item is answered in a certain way.
How does it work?
Let's say you have a multiple choice item with possible answers of Pass, Caution, and Fail.

Additionally, you have another item that only needs to be completed if the answer to the multiple choice item is "Fail". You can now select the multiple choice item in the conditional display dropdown and specify "Fail" as the answer to trigger the display of the other item.

With this feature it is also possible to have multiple conditions that can be satisfied to display an item. You can just click the
Add Condition
button to add more conditions. Keep in mind that when you have multiple conditions, the conditional display item will display if ANY of the conditions are true. Load More
