Introduction
This article gives you a quick over of job workflow. It highlights the typical steps office staff move through as they process a job from beginning to end.
1 Scheduling a site visit
After receiving a call from a prospect, a site visit is booked on the Scheduler.
2 Dispatching a technician
Once dispatched, the work appears on the Technician’s View.
3 Creating an estimate
During a site visit, the technician creates an estimate with the Technician’s View. This information can also be viewed by system administrators in the office.
