- Click on Repair Requests (contact summary 360 view) or Repairs (for an asset) 2. The Repairs History tile (or Repairs tab) is activated, revealing a list of all recorded repairs in the Repairs History summary table.

Note

2 The availability and customisation of all Contact Summary 360 View tiles is controlled separately for each end user via their unique system profile.
3 Once a task has been assigned to a works order, it cannot be deleted via this process; instead, the task must be removed using a works order variation.
