## Priorities and service levels

A priority is a rung on a ladder, which is why they are edited together rather than as separate
records.

Each priority carries:

| Setting             | Meaning                                                   |
| ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Rank**            | Its place in the order. What "critical" means is "rank 1" |
| **Label**           | What people see                                           |
| **Response time**   | How long until somebody must be on it                     |
| **Resolution time** | How long until it must be finished                        |

Response and resolution are the **service level**. The clock runs against the site's working week —
so "four hours" on a site that works one shift means four working hours, not four wall-clock hours.

The clock pauses in on-hold states and stops at Completed. See
[the lifecycle](/work/lifecycle).

<Note>
  Ranks are what sorting and the *Critical* view use. Renaming "Critical" to "P1" changes the label
  everywhere and breaks nothing.

## Work order types

What kind of job this is. The defaults:

| Type           | For                               |
| -------------- | --------------------------------- |
| **Preventive** | Scheduled maintenance from a plan |
| **Corrective** | Fixing something found wrong      |
| **Breakdown**  | Something has stopped             |
| **Inspection** | A round of checks                 |

Each type carries a **planned** flag. That flag — not a list of type codes — is what the
*planned against unplanned* chart on the [Executive dashboard](/get-started/dashboards) counts, so
adding your own type gets counted correctly without a change anywhere else.

## Work order categories

A second axis of classification, independent of type: mechanical, electrical, instrumentation,
civil, safety. Useful for reporting and for routing to the right trade.

## Resolution codes

What was actually done, chosen when a job is closed: *replaced*, *repaired*, *adjusted*,
*cleaned*, *no fault found*.

Resolution codes are worth taking seriously. *No fault found* appearing repeatedly on one machine is
a real signal, and only exists as a signal if people record it.

## Request sources

Where a [work request](/work/requests) came from — walk-up, telephone, email, the operator on the
line, a control system. Configure the list so you can tell later which channel a fault arrived
through.

## Request categories

The same idea as work order categories, applied to requests at intake.

## Adding to any of these lists

Each section has its own **New**. Entries can be deactivated rather than deleted, which keeps
historical records readable — a job closed against a resolution code you no longer offer still shows
what it was closed as.
