Usage Types

Summary

A Usage Type determines which Work Types can be raised for a specific site. The Usage Type is set every time a site is created.

Usage types can be set up against Work Types to more specifically apply certain work types to certain sites. By limiting which work types your usage type is set up against, you can be certain that any work raised for that site will be under the correct work type when creating a job.
