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.
