Service Request States and Groupings
NetVendor Maintenance (NVM) is built on a workflow engine that improves the speed of work order execution as well as the quality of data collected for each Service Request (SR).
Here is a quick overview of states and groupings found within the NVM workflow engine, for both Property Manager and Service Professional users. Whether users are on a computer web browser or using the app for mobile phones, the goal is to keep SRs organized.

New: Drafted, Requested, Documented, Recommended, Pended, Declined, Denied, and Held states
