Learn about Work order Enquiries in Marlin GTX trusted automotive workshop software by Megabus.

Updated 30 October 2026

Marlin GTX enables orders to be searched and managed using the Work Order Enquiry module.

Work Order Enquiry can be used to quickly locate a specific work order, or view specific types of orders and their details.

The module can also be used to cancel, re-open orders, as required.

Work Order Enquiry can be accessed by selecting Main > Enquiries > Work Orders from the menu bar.

To search for an order:

  • Click on the column heading you want to search by
  • Type the search terms on the keyboard
    • The relevant order(s) will be selected in the list
    • If it does not exist, the nearest match based on the active filters will be located instead
Tip — The Order column is selected by default, meaning you don't have to click on the Order column to search by work order number, when you first open the module.

Filtering Work Orders

Specific types of work orders can be viewed and re-opened by clicking on the **Filter** icon at the top of the module window (or pressing F6 on the keyboard).
