OpenWrench Tutorial: Using Views
Overview
The Views feature in OpenWrench allows you to quickly filter and organize your Work Orders based on specific criteria—and save those filters for easy access.
You can also pin your most-used Views as tabs across the top of your Work Orders page for faster navigation.
Step 1: Create a View
Navigate to the Work Orders page
Apply your desired filters
Example: Filter by Problem Type = Building Maintenance
Click “Save View”
Step 2: Save Your View
Choose one of the following:
Create New View
Update Existing View
Enter a name for your View
Example: Building Maintenance
Click Save
Step 3: Access Your Saved Views
At the top of the Work Orders page, click “Views”
You will see a list of all your saved Views
Step 4: Edit or Manage Views
Click “Edit” in the top right corner.
From here, you can:
✏️ Rename the View
🗑️ Delete the View
⭐ Set as Default View
↕️ Drag and reorder Views
Step 5: Pin Views as Tabs
Go to Views
Click the 📌 push pin icon next to any View
👉 This will add the View as a tab across the top of your Work Orders page
Step 6: Organize Your Tabs
Drag and drop pinned Views to reorder them
Only pin the Views you use most often
Leave others unpinned (they will still be accessible under Views)

Once pinned, your Views will appear as tabs across the top of your Work Orders page, allowing you to:
Quickly switch between filtered data
