Work Order Module Started By John Wolf Friends, is anyone aware of a DNN work order module Ours is an internal site with many work teams having pages and subsites. We get so many work requests - large and small - and would like a more formal process for users to request work and us to manage them. We use Mandeeps Live Helpdesk for support tickets. It's close but not quite there for managing work items. Appreciate any suggestions. John		81	0	3/4/2026 10:59 PM by John Wolf
