Job Detail View
A guide to the Job detail view, including the details tab, customer tab, transactions, invoices, activity, text messages, and transfer warnings.
The Job detail view is the best place to review the whole story around one job before you change anything. It brings the live job fields together with notes, images, schedule information, the linked customer, transactions, invoices, activity history, and text messages.
Top-Level View
- Balance: Shows the live financial position for the job.
- Times Completed and Times Missed: Useful for understanding the real history of the work before speaking to the customer or changing the schedule.
- Green tick shortcut: Appears on the details tab for eligible active jobs. It opens the shared Completion Popup without leaving the job you are reviewing.
- Edit: Opens the job popup when the record is still editable.
- Go to: Lets you jump deeper into the linked record shown on the active tab.
Details Tab
- Job Details: Reference, status, duration, flags, service, round, and business context.
- Customer: Shows who the job belongs to and the usual customer details without leaving the job.
- Job Address: Only stands out as its own section when the job address is different from the stored customer address.
- Dates and Schedule: Due date, next due, last done, due time, and the schedule summary all sit together here.
- Equipment: The detail tab lists the equipment assigned to this job alongside the schedule, with a coloured swatch next to each piece. Add or change equipment through Editing a Job.
- Pricing and Opening Balance: Lets you see not just the active price but also the extra price fields that drive future charging.
- Price History: Appears once the job has had a price rise. A rise that is still waiting shows at the top with its new price and start date, and Cancel price rise if you can edit the job. Below it is every earlier rise, with its date, the prices before and after, and who set it up.
- Notes and Images: Both appear on the detail tab so the operational context stays close to the job.
- Completion shortcut rules: The green tick button is hidden when the job is not active, has already been transferred, or is already sitting on an incomplete worksheet.
Other Tabs
- Customer: Opens the linked customer information inside the same flow. This is useful when you need to confirm the wider customer record without abandoning the job.
- Transactions: Shows ledger activity tied to the job. There is also a create-transaction action here when the job is still editable.
- Invoices: Shows invoice information that relates back to the job.
- Activity: Useful when you need an audit trail of what changed and when.
- Communications: Shows email and SMS linked to this job, including inbound replies matched back to an earlier outbound text. If your role allows sending, this tab also gives you a New Message action for starting another message from the same job context.
Warnings You May See
- Transferred job warning: The job has been moved to another business and can no longer be edited here.
- Transferred customer warning: The job may still be visible historically, but the linked customer is now owned elsewhere.
- Price changed since a rise was set up: The waiting price rise will be skipped on its date, because the job's price no longer matches what the customer was told it would rise from.
When This View Is Most Useful
- Before editing: Check the schedule, notes, balance, and recent activity first so you do not make a blind change.
- Before creating a transaction: Confirm you are attaching it to the right customer, service, and address context.
- Before moving work elsewhere: Check whether the job is already on a worksheet, already transferred, or carrying special notes that need to follow it.
