Can a maintenance ticket connect directly to a material purchase request without duplicating records?

Yes. In Jestor, relational data lets a maintenance ticket connect directly to a material purchase request, reusing information that's already registered instead of typing it in again.

How connecting records works

Instead of recreating the same information across each new table, Jestor lets you register a piece of data once — like an employee, a client, or a material — and reuse it in any other process that needs that information, just by pulling in the existing data. So when opening a maintenance ticket that requires purchasing a part, you can connect that ticket directly to the corresponding purchase request, with no duplicate records.

How to connect a maintenance ticket to a purchase

Register the needed material or part once in the system.
When opening the maintenance ticket, connect it to the corresponding purchase request record.
Access the full history by opening the ticket's card — the linked purchase shows up right there.
Reuse the same data whenever a new ticket needs the same type of material.

Why choose Jestor

No more double work: data registered once can be reused across as many processes as needed, with no duplication.
Centralized history: opening any record's card already shows everything connected to it.
No-code relational structure: connecting different tables doesn't require advanced technical knowledge.

Do you need to recreate the material's record every time it's used in a new ticket?

No, data registered once can be reused across as many processes as needed, with no duplication.

Does this kind of connection only work between maintenance and purchasing, or can it be used elsewhere?

The principle of relational data can be applied to any connection between tables, not just maintenance and purchasing.

Can you see the linked purchase when opening the maintenance ticket's card?

Yes, connected records stay visible directly inside the card, giving quick access to all related history.

Why does a removed user show as inactive instead of being deleted, and what does that preserve in the history?

In Jestor, removing a user doesn't delete them from the system: their status changes to inactive, specifically to preserve the history of everything that person changed on records in the past. Why this logic exists If a user were completely deleted, the entire history of actions they performed
