    • If you are using the Sched. Date field on the work order form, you can use a different field instead. In the Field link on the Workflow Manager Configuration page, replace Sched. Date (see example above) with the fieldname of your choice.
    • If PMID does not appear in your drop-down, the field needs to be added to the Query Tool. Enter any Work Order and enter design mode (Options > Customize form). Add PMID to the form by clicking an empty placeholder and using the Add Existing Field section. Click Select Field to place the field on the form. Next, click on the Properties link for the PMID field. On the Field Properties window, place a check in the Query Tool checkbox and click Save. The field is no longer necessary. Remove it by clicking the trash can icon.
