6. How to Make Use of To Do List ?

Managing multiple Jobs and Technicians can be challenging, especially when ensuring that each task is completed accurately. The To-Do List in the system acts as a structured way for Technicians, guiding them through each necessary step to complete a Job.

For Admins, this makes it easy to see what each Technician has done and what is still pending. You can track progress in real time, check that all tasks are completed correctly, and ensure Jobs are finished on time.

Here’s a simple guide flow showing how a Job update moves from the Technician’s perspective to the Admin’s perspective:

For Technicians :

The To-Do List is set up according to company requirements and is linked to the Job status. For example, when Admin creates Jobs in system , Job Status will be " Not Started ". The Technician must perform a Check-In in order to change the Job status to " In Progress ".


 

Once done, the To-Do List will now change according to the Job Status, and Technican will find more tasks for them to perform in order to complete the Job.

 

Technicians will attach required attachments in the Job comment sections. They can even type in specific remarks as part of the comments to provide details on the task. 

 

For Admins :

Admin can just click open the required Job from Job Schedule Page, Job Dahsboard or even Job Report Page to view all these updates made by Technician. As you can see, all the To Do List updates made and even the Reports are all captured in the Job comment section.
