Which status indicates that work is actively being performed on a Work Order?

• A. Open
• B. Completed
• C. On Hold
• D. In Progress

Answer: (D)

When work is actually being done, the status should reflect ongoing activity that updates as labor and tasks proceed. In most IMDS workflows, a work order moves from Open to In Progress when technicians begin the tasks, document time and parts used, and actively work toward completion. On Hold means work is paused, Completed means the work is finished and closed, and Open simply indicates the order has been created and not yet started. So In Progress is the best indicator that active work is underway on the order.
