The Job Management module helps you track work from initial request through to completion and invoicing. It's ideal for tradies, agencies, and service businesses.
Enabling Job Management
- Go to the App Marketplace in the sidebar
- Find Job Management and click Install
- The Jobs option will appear in your sidebar navigation
Creating a New Job
- Go to Jobs from the sidebar
- Click New Job
- Fill in the job details:
- Job title: a short description (e.g., "Kitchen renovation, 42 Smith St")
- Client: select from your contacts
- Description: detailed scope of work
- Start date and due date
- Priority: Low, Medium, High, or Urgent
- Assigned to: select a team member (Starter, Plus, and Growth plans)
- Click Create Job
Job Statuses
Each job moves through a series of statuses:
- New: just created, not yet started
- In Progress: work is underway
- On Hold: paused, waiting for something
- Review: work complete, pending client review
- Completed: job is done
- Cancelled: job was cancelled
Update the status from the job detail page or drag it on the pipeline board.
Adding Notes and Attachments
Keep all job-related information in one place:
- Notes: add updates, site notes, or client communications
- Photos: upload photos of the work site or progress shots
- Documents: attach quotes, plans, or specifications
Job Costs
Track the financial side of each job:
- Estimated cost: what you quoted the client
- Actual expenses: link expenses to the job as they occur
- Profit margin: calculated automatically based on invoice vs. expenses
Tip: Create a job for every piece of work you do, even small ones. This builds a history that helps you quote more accurately in the future.
