Change a job's status

A job's status shows how far along it is. It also sets the job's colour on the schedule.

The statuses

• Booked in: the job is in the diary and hasn't started.
• In progress: someone is working on it.
• Waiting for parts: work has stopped until a part arrives.
• Complete: the work is done. The job can now be invoiced.
• Cancelled: the job isn't going ahead.

Steps

1. Open the job.
2. Choose the Status box at the top of the page and pick the new status.
3. Choose Save job in the bar at the bottom of the Details tab.

Good to know

• You can also change the status in the quick edit box.
• A job has to be Complete before you can create an invoice for it.
• Cancelled jobs are hidden on the schedule until you choose to show them.
• Mechanics see the status but can't change it.
