To change a WO's status, follow these steps:

1. On the dashboard, click on **Report Work** or select **My Work** on the menu;
2. Select the WO you want to change;
3. Select the status;
4. Select the status you want to switch the WO to.

In the state transition, you must consider that:

1. You can **remove the transitions performed**. Thus, before synchronizing, click on the arrow to the right of the status:
2. If the statuses transition performed requires a **justification**, you should insert the corresponding justification. Here, the fields **Justification** (automatically filled in if there is a default justification), **Justification Type** (automatically filled in if there is a default justification type) are available. This field is only available if you choose the transition's justification) and **Notes** (free text) You can fill in all the fields, but only the **Justification** field or the **Notes** field must be filled in;
3. If the chosen status is one which **initiates downtime** and the work order's "**Operation Status** field is filled in as a **downtime** status, you should indicate whether you want the downtime to be applied to all the WO's asset children as well.
4. If the chosen status is one which **no longer has any possible transitions**, it will no longer be possible to access the statuses list.

If the WO status is configured to **Start Timer**, when the WO switches to that status, it automatically starts the labor time. If it is configured as **End Timer**, when the WO switches to that status, labor time finishes automatically.
