When you log in to the Android vWork mobile app you see the Jobs screen. This is the home screen for the app and is the place where you track your assigned jobs.

The Jobs screen lists the jobs assigned to you and shows you how much of each job is completed. This screen is also where you can open an individual job to work on it, access the vWork Menu, and open you messages screen. You may also have the options to: 'Accept' or 'Decline' jobs, indicate if you are on or off shift, and create a job from this screen.

The job screen is divided into two parts: the Red banner and the Jobs list.

View job progress and open jobs from the jobs list

The jobs list is where you can view all jobs assigned to you in the time period you select from the red banner.

Quickly view the progress of a job

You can see how far through a job is by looking at the circle icon next to the job.

The job is ready for you to 'Accept' or 'Decline' (if this option has been enabled by your vWork Administrator). Your dispatcher sees this as Pending.

💡 Tip: The little 'N' on the top of the circle icon shows this job is new to your vWork mobile app since the last time your app synced with the vWork server. Once you have opened a job this goes away.
The job is assigned to you but you haven't yet started it (completed the first step). Your dispatcher sees it as Assigned.
The job is part way through. The green incrementally colors additional segments in the circle as you complete each job step. The dispatcher sees it as Started.
You have completed the last job step. You are still able to make changes to the job while it remains on the vWork mobile app. Your dispatcher now sees the job as Completed.

Update your shift status

Your vWork Administrator may allow you to let the dispatcher know when you are on shift or off shift. This is a setting they can turn on or off in the General settings. When this is enabled you see the gray Shift Status banner below the red banner. You can tap this to change your shift status.
