What can you display in the Jobs List instead of the default columns?
The Jobs List displays the following job information in the columns in the Jobs List as the default:
- ID - The unique ID for the Job. This is useful when searching for a job, especially for jobs based on the same job template.
- Customer - The customer who the job is being completed for.
- Status - Useful for tracking the progress of a job, the status identifies what is happening to the job; e.g., When the job is in Draft, Pending, Assigned, Started, Completed, and etc.
- Start at - This is the time the job is scheduled to begin. Once a job has started this changes to the actual time the job is started.
- Worker - This is the name of the worker assigned to complete the job.
- Template - This is the name of the job template that the job is based on.
- Address - This is the first address that is saved for a job step. This could come from any step but will always be the first address, even if there is more than one step that has an address saved against it.
You can replace any of the default columns with other job-related information. The options you can select from include:
- Step Address 1 up to Step Address 5 - This shows the address saved against a specific step in a job. It differs from the default Address information which always shows the first address saved against a step.
- Capacity - Only available when optional the Route Optimization feature is added to your vWork account.
- Asset model, name, and serial No. - Only available when the optional Assets feature is added to your account, these 3 options are all different methods of identifying an Asset.
- Equipment - Only available if the optional Equipment feature is added to your account, this lists the Equipment added to the job.
- Deadline - Only available if the optional Job Deadlines feature is added to your vWork account. This shows the time at which the job must be completed.
- Worker Phone - The mobile number saved with the user profile for the mobile worker assigned to a job.
- Invoice approved at - The date and time when an invoice was approved in the Job Editor for the job.
- Custom field - Click this to display a menu of custom fields then select the custom field you want to display in the Jobs List.
In addition to the job information listed above, you can also add to the header row any of the job information that shows in the seven Expandable Sub Row columns for the job; but you must delete or reassign the column in the Expandable Sub Row first. Likewise, you can add the job information from the Header Row to the Expandable Sub Row when you delete or replace the job information in the Header Row.
The default job information in the Expandable Sub Row includes:
- Type - This uses an icon to identify the type of job. The job may be a standard job, a quote, a master job, or a sub job. The types of jobs that show in your account depend on the optional features you have added to your account.
- Created by - The user or system that created the job.
- Duration - The planned job duration as saved with the job. This is replaced by the actual duration when the job is completed.
