Prior work order request

I am attempting to develop a work order form and need help determining if there was a prior work order submitted, what "Widget" or operation would you suggest? Example, Employee submits work order for grass to be cut, how would the next employee an hour later know the work order was submitted?

Well, the best option is to use a notification system, where an email will be sent to the appropriate employee, you can even do a conditional email if you need to send different work orders to different employees: https://www.jotform.com/help/167-How-to-Send-Email-Based-on-User-s-Answer

Let us know if that could work for you or if you had something else in mind.

Thank you!
