Jobs

Create jobs, move them through each stage and find everything about a job on its job card.

A job is one piece of work for a customer. Everything about it lives on its job card: the address, notes, photos, checklists, time, quotes and invoices.

The jobs list

Click Jobs in the main menu to see every job you can see.

  • Click a stage at the top, such as Scheduled, to only show jobs at that stage. The number shows how many there are.
  • Click All to show every job again.
  • Click a job to open its job card.

To download your jobs as a spreadsheet, pick the dates under From and To, then click Export CSV. A CSV file opens in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets.

Job stages

Every job has a stage, also called its status. It shows where the job is up to.

  • Enquiry: someone has asked about work. You haven't quoted yet.
  • Quoted: you've sent a quote.
  • Scheduled: the work is booked in.
  • In progress: someone has started the work.
  • Completed: the work is done.
  • Invoiced: you've sent the invoice.
  • Paid: the invoice is paid in full.
  • Cancelled: the job isn't going ahead.

Some stages change by themselves:

  • Sending a quote moves an enquiry to Quoted.
  • When the customer accepts the quote, the job moves to Scheduled.
  • Sending the final invoice moves the job to Invoiced.
  • When the final invoice is paid, the job moves to Paid.
