Start Date – the date this work order should be started by. This date is always defaulted to the current date and time,
End Date – the date this work order should be completed by. This date is usually calculated automatically according to the selected priority. If the priority is set to avoid automatic due date calculation, the due date will not be calculated automatically and it will have to be populated by the user.
