You can start using the Work Order module almost immediately after installing the softwarethe software-the only requirement is adding vehicles because you must indicate a vehicle that the work will be performed on in order to create a work order (refer to "Adding a Vehicle" in Chapter 3Vehicle Inventory if necessary).
You may want to perform some of the additional setup steps listed to "fine-tune" the Work Order module to your needs. None of the steps listed are required, but they are recommended. For example, by reviewing the switches, you can save dozens of keystrokes by turning off features you don't need. By the same token, you can ensure you're prompted for data that you do need by making sure the appropriate switches are activated.
The Setup:

• Review the switches in the Main System Parameters and change the settings as needed (SSM). Switches 4, 9, 15, 21, 22, 23, 31, 33, 34, 38, 39, and 40 specifically pertain to work orders. Recommended
