How to back up job photos and files from Jobber?
Hey all, just wondering if this is something others have run into. A few of our clients have been talking about how they handle long-term storage of job photos and documents, especially when staff leave, or when they want to organize files outside of Jobber. Some mentioned wanting to move things to Google Drive or DropBox automatically, but I’m not sure how common that need really is. Just curious, have you or your team thought about this? Is keeping a backup of Jobber media files part of your process, or not really a concern? Appreciate any thoughts! JoshProjected revenue
I would like to look at my upcoming schedule (by day, by week, or a custom range), and see the projected revenue based on future visits. I own a lawn service/maintenance company, and we invoice our customers after every visit. For example, when I see tomorrow's schedule, I would like to see the total number of visits, the revenue associated with each visit, and the total revenue for the day. I have never found a report in Jobber for this. I'm surprised that it isn't on the dashboard. Does anyone else think similarly? Are there easy work-arounds?
New Invoice Feature
Great improvement on being able to apply a payment to multiple invoices, however, in Lawn Care we do a lot of prepayments prior to our season and at this time Jobber does not have a definitive way to apply that money correctly. With the new feature, it would be a start if we could apply a payment to future invoices. So, when the invoices are created for the season, we can apply the payment made for the whole season.
Suggestion: Quotes / Invoices Sub Items for Main Line Item
Hello Jobber Team, 🛠️ Why We Use Sub-Items in Our Quotes & Invoices When it comes to handyman and construction work, no two jobs are exactly alike — and we believe your quote should reflect that. That’s why we organize our quotes and invoices with main line items and sub-items, and here’s why that matters: ✅ Customizable Work Scopes Sometimes a project includes optional jobs based on your preferences or budget. For example, your quote might include: • Job 1: Deck Repair - Materials - Labor • Job 2 (Optional): Flooring Install - Materials - Debris Disposal Fee - Labor You can easily see what's included and choose what fits your needs. ✅ Transparency You Can Trust No vague charges or confusing totals. Every part of the job is broken down so you can see exactly what you're getting — from screws and wood planks to disposal and labor. ✅ Smoother Approvals & Communication Want to move forward with just one section of the job for now? No problem. Sub-items make it easy to discuss, approve, or remove parts without reworking the entire quote. ✅ Budget-Friendly Flexibility This system lets us work with you on cost — you can prioritize essential work and schedule optional items for later, all while keeping track of the big picture. At the end of the day, we want your estimate to be as clear, flexible, and tailored as the work we provide. 🧰📋🚗Fleet Sharp and Schedule (alpha) Split Screen
Hello, Our Fleet Sharp trackers do Not populate on the schedule (Alpha) split screen. We heard about Force Fleet at the spring feature announcement, and we have seen screenshots of Force Fleet trackers visible on the schedule split screen. We are wondering (hoping 🙏) if Jobber will update the split screen to show both Force Fleet AND Fleet Sharp trackers. We are wondering if anyone has heard or knows info regarding this topic. Thank you
Managing Year-Long Jobs with Multiple Tasks & Recurring Visits
Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice on how others are managing long-term jobs in Jobber that span a full year and include many steps or tasks—some one-off and some recurring. For us, scheduling a yearly maintenance job has been a challenge. Are you setting up one Job with many visits, or are you creating a separate Job for each task in the contract with multiple visits for each? When converting a quote to a job, Jobber allows multiple jobs from a single line item, which sometimes leads to duplicates and scheduling issues. Another challenge is payments by installment—we need the job total to match the installment price rather than the full contract value, and I’m wondering how others are handling this. In other programs, scheduled tasks would turn gray to indicate they had already been converted to a job. If they needed to be scheduled again, we could either add a visit to the existing job or delete it and create a new one. Does Jobber have a workflow that allows for something similar? Would love to hear how you structure your jobs to keep scheduling and payments running smoothly!
