Track a job from open to closed

Every job carries a status so your team can see where it stands at a glance. New accounts start with six statuses: Open, In Progress, Awaiting Customer, Awaiting Parts, Completed, and Closed. An admin can rename, recolour, add or remove the optional ones in Settings.

  1. Open the job

    From the Jobs tab or the calendar, tap the job you want to update to open its profile.

  2. Go to the Information tab

    Make sure you're on the Information tab, then find the Assignment card.

  3. Change the status

    Under Status, tap the dropdown and choose the new status for the job.

  4. Log the change

    Servicebay opens an Add Message dialog so the change is recorded. Optionally add a note in the message field and set its category to Information, Important, or Critical.

  5. Save the update

    Tap Save in the dialog to confirm. The job list and calendar reflect the new status right away, and the change appears in the job's Log tab along with who made it and when.

  6. Filter jobs by status

    On the Jobs tab, tap the filter button and use the Status filter to see jobs at a particular stage, and turn on Show Closed if you need to find a job that's already been marked Closed.
