Create Followup Work Order from Multiple Assets Locations and CIs table in Work Order applications

When you are performing the same activity across multiple assets and locations as part of a single work order, you may need to create a follow-up work order against the asset or location that exists in the Multiple Assets, Locations and CIs table. An example is a simple inspection using a PM with Route. Take the Fire Extinguisher example in the MAXDEMO database, the technician goes to a particular fire extinguisher asset, does the required checks and notices that the wall bracket needs to be refixed to the wall, a CM work order needs to be raised for just this asset. Currently this is not possible you would need to create a new work order and then go through the process of relating that work order to the originating one. It should be possible to create the follow-up from an inline table window button at the end of the Multiple Assets, Locations and CIs table.

Note. Creating a follow-up work order will copy the whole set of records in the Multiple Assets, Locations and CIs table.
