- This will bring up a new view that shows the new work order (ticket) that you created. The number, date opened, department, busines phone, email, and status are automatically populated.
- Fill in the following:
- Priority: On a 1-5 scale. Most MEC tasks fall between 2-3. Standard Be lens changes are a 3, hutch tasks can be a 2-3, and if you place tickets for planning purposes use a 5 and this can be changed as you get closer to your date needed.
- Location: Hutch 6 is 999_100H6, XRT is 960_100. The location you choose will determine what area manager needs to release the work.
- Project and Activity Code: MEC tech PA is 13689-A4107
- Instrument: Select MEC. This allows you to search for tickets specific to MEC later.
- Assignment Group: Click on the magnifying glass on the right-hand side to bring up options. For tech resources choose Tech Support. If you don’t choose this the ticket won’t get approved and work won’t move forward
- Work Order Type: Click on the magnifying glass on the right-hand side to bring up options. There is an option for Be lens changes, installation etc…
- Title: Make sure to include MEC somewhere in the title and make it specific to an experiment or specific to work. (Ex. MEC LY47 Be Lens Change or MEC Turbo Install)
- Scroll down the page to bring up WO Details:
- Describe the scope of the work and add any special instructions. You can also note here that you will link to a document or attach a document that the tech needs to review.

- The bar at the top of the ticket shows the status. When you open a ticket, it goes to Pending Assignment. Once the Tech Resource Manager assigns someone to the ticket the ticket will go into Pending Work Release. The Area Manager and LCLS Safety Officer will approve the ticket and the ticket will become Ready for Work. The day of the work the tech assigned will put the ticket in Work in Progress. If needed the Tech can put the ticket on hold and once complete, they mark the ticket as Work Complete. The Area Manager will then approve and confirm the work is complete by putting the ticket in Closed Status. If the ticket gets cancelled for any reason it goes into Cancelled:
