Turn a signed quote into a job
Create a job from a signed quote, from an online booking, or from scratch, and what a job holds.
A job is the work you've won. It holds the customer, the service address, the line items, crew instructions and every visit. Jobs aren't created by themselves when a quote is signed; you create the job with one click.
From a signed quote
- Open Work → Proposals and open the signed quote. Its status shows accepted.
- Click Create job.
- The job opens. It copies the customer, their address, the tax rate and the items your customer chose (including any choices and add-ons they picked).
The job starts with one unscheduled visit, ready to book. Once a job exists, the same button reads Job #12 and takes you to it. In the iPhone app, open the quote and tap Create job (or Open job).
From an online booking
When a customer books a time through online booking, the job is created for you. It gets a visit at the booked time, already assigned to the team member who was free, and a record in Requests so you can see where it came from.
From a request
A request (a website form, call or walk-in) becomes a quote first, not a job. In Work → Requests, open it and click Create proposal. When that quote is signed, create the job as above. See Your requests inbox.
From scratch
- Open Work → Jobs and click New job.
- Enter a Job title and pick a Customer (optional).
- Click Create job. Add line items, the service address and visits on the job page.
What's on a job
- Details: title, customer, Service address and Instructions for the crew (gate codes, parking, what to bring).
- Schedule: the visits. See Schedule visits and assign crews.
- Line items: what you're charging. Only people who can see prices see these.
- Checklist: steps the crew ticks off on every visit.
Click Save after changes. When the work is done, click Create invoice to bill the job. See Create and send an invoice.
