Jobs List
Purpose
Use the jobs list to see every job currently in flight, confirm who is responsible, and move work forward without leaving the overview. It mirrors /app/jobs in ESS Admin so the office, business owner, and field coordinators stay aligned.
When you open the list
- The 100 most recently updated jobs appear with the newest changes at the top.
- Each row opens the job detail when you click anywhere on it; the
Viewbutton on the right does the same if you prefer a dedicated link. - The
New Jobbutton in the top-right launches the three-step job wizard for new work.
Filters and search
- Select a status chip (
All,Created,In Progress,Finalized) to focus on the jobs relevant to the task in front of you. - Use the search box to type any part of a job number, job title, customer name, team name, or quote number—results narrow as you type.
- Combine a status chip and a search term to zero in on exactly what you need (for example, select
In Progressand type part of a customer surname).
Read a row at a glance
- Job column: shows the job number (or title if no number yet), the job title in smaller text, and when the job was created.
- Revision indicators: a
Pending revisionbadge appears when a change order is still in draft or waiting on approval. TheLatest accepted revision #text confirms which scope the crew should follow. - Status badge: highlights whether the job is
Created,In Progress, orFinalized. - Billing stage badge: tells you if the job is
Unbilled, inProgress(with how many claims have been raised), orFully billed. - Team column: lists the assigned crew. If you see
Unassigned, open the job to confirm who will attend or schedule it from the board. - Client / Quote column: shows the customer. A quote link appears for jobs created from a quote;
Client TBDappears if you still need to confirm the customer;Manual jobmarks ad-hoc work. - Updated column: shows the last activity time in your local timezone so you can see what changed most recently.
Acting on a job
- Click the row or the
Viewbutton to open the job detail screen for scheduling, crew instructions, attachments, and history. - Use the
Statusbutton in the Actions column to move a job that has not yet been finalized:- Mark as Created returns the job to planning when work is on hold.
- Mark as In Progress flags that the job is underway or booked with a team.
- Finalize job closes the job and records optional wrap-up notes. Outstanding schedule entries must be completed or cancelled first.
- The dropdown also includes Open in schedule, which jumps straight to the scheduling board filtered to that job.
- Once a job shows
Finalized, the system prevents further changes, including status updates. - After you select an action the list refreshes automatically once the toast confirmation appears.
Workflow examples
Prepare tomorrow’s work
- Select the
Createdchip. - Scan the Team column for
Unassignedjobs and open them to assign a crew or confirm the planned start date. - Use Open in schedule for any job that needs a calendar check or to coordinate multiple teams.
Keep tabs on live jobs
- Select the
In Progresschip. - Check the
Updatedcolumn to see which jobs have recent activity. - When a customer calls, type their name in the search box and open the row to review notes or update progress.
- If a job pauses, use Mark as Created so the team knows it needs rescheduling.
Close out finished jobs for finance
- Stay on the
In Progresschip and identify jobs with all field work complete. - Review the Billing stage badge—
Unbilledmeans finance still needs to raise the invoice, whileProgressshows how many claims exist. - Finalize the job once paperwork and site checks are complete. The job moves under the
Finalizedchip and becomes review-only.
Troubleshooting
- Status change isn’t available: the job is already in that status or has been finalized.
- Error when finalizing: ensure every schedule entry is either Completed or Cancelled, then try again.
- Pending revision badge won’t clear: approve, reject, or discard the change order on the job detail (or the linked quote) so the badge disappears.
- No results after searching: clear the status chip (set it back to
All) and try again, or open the job from its quote if it hasn’t been updated recently.
