Managing Fill in Jobs

Hi Community!

One challenge we face is keeping track of fill in jobs or jobs that need a follow up visit but dont know exactly when it will happen. Having one central location or a way to keep track of all of these for easy reference would be key. We try to use the job status' as much as possible but turns out this does not always work.

The work around we have done is creating a new customer named "Fill In" then created a new job titled "Fill In Jobs List". Now techs or **bleep** can add a new line item with scope of work, estimated duration and job number. Each new line item represents a separate fill in job. This puts all our fill ins in one location and we can reference it then direct to the job number in Jobber for scheduling. This works but don't feel its scalable. 

Curious what others have been doing for this!

Thanks, Carson

  • Hi Carson, if you create a client and a job but the job has no details and you can select “Schedule Later,” you can then find the job later to schedule it if you click the search icon at the bottom of the app, then choose Jobs, then across the top, you can filter through different categories and if you select “unscheduled,” those jobs that are unscheduled would show up and your team could select the job they’re ready to schedule. Would that solve your issue?

    I meant, "Now techs or project managers" but it entered "**bleep**" where I abbreviated project manager (PM)
