Maintenance Request Workflows
Maintenance requests are created by authorized users to move devices for repair, inspection, or servicing. These requests ensure secure device handling, controlled movement, and complete traceability.
A maintenance request generally follows this workflow.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | A device is returned by a user in Bad condition through a Device Drop-off Request. |
| 2 | An authorized user creates a Maintenance Request. |
| 3 | A user with the required maintenance permissions reviews the request. |
| 4 | The authorized user collects the device from the locker and performs the required maintenance or repair. |
| 5 | The repaired device is returned to the Store or Locker (via drop-off). |
| 6 | The Maintenance Request is marked as Closed. |
Maintenance requests can be initiated based on:
- Locker (when returning or collecting devices via lockers)
- Device records (when managing devices centrally)
