The ability to reschedule a job and change a job's dutation on the vWork mobile app is a General setting in your vWork account. It can be enabled and disabled by your vWork Administrator.
When a job can't be completed as scheduled it is easy to reschedule the job from within the vWork mobile app if this setting has been enabled. You might want to reschedule a job because, for example, a customer needs to reschedule, a worker is ill, or a tool required to complete a job breaks down. When you reschedule a job you give it a new scheduled start date and time. You can also change the job duration but all other job details remain the same.

Jobs that can be rescheduled from the vWork mobile app
You can reschedule any job listed in your Jobs List on the Jobs screen, that you have accepted (if 'Accept and Decline jobs' is enabled) and you haven't yet started it, ie, completed one or more job steps.
In this example, we can reschedule the job for Duane Pipe; but we can't reschedule the job for Bob Katz because we haven't accepted this job, or for Fish Smith because we have already started this job.
