Step-by-step procedure

Complete the task

    Select

    Start a work order

    Open Work Orders and choose New Work Order, then select the alarm service kind before choosing a service type.

  2. 2
    Enter information

    Select customer and property

    Search and choose the verified customer and exact installation property, checking for an existing alarm system and open work.

  3. 3
    Choose an option

    Choose new installation

    Select the new-install service type only when RedFlag Security is installing the primary system rather than taking over existing equipment.

  4. 4
    Enter information

    Enter scope and source

    Link the accepted estimate when available and enter the equipment, services, expectations, and office notes needed by preparation and field staff.

  5. 5
    Verify

    Confirm wizard and readiness

    Verify the alarm wizard version, required steps, contract path, and any known office-preparable information before creation.

  6. 6
    Verify

    Schedule or leave deliberately unscheduled

    Choose a conflict-free visit when availability is confirmed, or leave the job clearly awaiting scheduling with an owner and follow-up.

  7. 7
    Verify

    Verify the created job

    Open the resulting work order and confirm customer, property, service type, scope, wizard steps, linked estimate, and visit exactly once.

If something does not look right

The expected button or field is not visible.

Confirm the record status, your role, and the selected tab; unavailable actions are often intentionally gated by those conditions.
