What are Jobs?

Jobs are tasks you assign to your team to complete — like a site visit, a repair, or a maintenance job. In Caction, there are several easy ways to schedule jobs for your customers.

This guide will walk you through the different methods to create and assign jobs or tasks. You’ll be able to assign them to specific team members or entire departments, add detailed descriptions to explain the work clearly, and even set up recurring jobs when needed.

Benefits:

  • Simplifies the process of adding new jobs, ensuring all necessary information is captured.
  • Enables job creation on-the-go via the mobile app, enhancing flexibility and responsiveness.
  • Facilitates efficient tracking and management of jobs within the system.

Note: Depending on how your system is set up, "Job" might be called something different, like "Task," "Ticket," "Deal," or another custom name.

Please navigate to the section by clicking it.
