3. Go to App Designer --> Wotrack--> select the tab “Work order” and get the properties for the WOPRIORITY field inside the application, as we show in the next screen: Use “READ” as “Signature Option” and click the “Configure Conditional Properties” button.

4. Use MAXADMIN as the security group, because the condition should be available for MAXADMIN group only.
