Work assignments web definition
You can customize the standard delivered Work assignments web definition to your requirements, by setting page properties for the pages and configuring layouts for the blocks. On the app, this will result in a Work assignments app module that end users, such as field engineers or inspectors, can use to register their work progress.
Web definition
A Work assignments web definition (system name: MobileWorkAssignmentRoot) consists of a Start page with the following blocks:
• Search block - to give app users the option to type words into a search bar and find relevant information in the Work assignments module;
• Filter block - allows you to configure a set of fields that the app user can use for additional filtering within the search/list block;
• Inbox list block - shows a list of all assigned work on the app.
Together the web definition's Start page and blocks create the general work overview on the app:
Sub web definition(s)
The sub web definitions for work assignments determine how the various order types are displayed on the app. Depending on the linked order type, a Work assignments sub web definition (system name: MobileWorkAssignmentSubDefinition) might consist of a:
• Summary page
• Work assignment page
• Work assignment details page
• Maintenance activitiy/-ies pages
Because it is possible to define different order types in Planon, a different sub web definition must be created for each user-defined order type you want to display on the app. Each sub definition has its own specific configuration. For example, you may want to create different sub web definitions for PPM orders and Reactive work orders.

The configurable pages in the sub web definition include more blocks and subpages:
• The Summary page of the sub web definition consists of various information blocks and subpages. These are configurable and contain detailed information and actions. The structure of the Summary page depends on the user-defined order on which it is based. For most order types the structure is identical, with the exception of the PPM order type, because this type includes maintenance activities and checklist items.
