A work is one billable field job: customer, site, date, service type, priority, pricing and technicians’ work sheets.

How to open: Field serviceWorks


Work vs work sheet

  • Work — one order or visit (billable whole).
  • Work sheet — each technician’s fillable sheet under that work.

Several technicians → usually several sheets. Mark one as lead.


Who is the lead technician?

The lead technician is the main person on site for that work. Office marks them while planning.

How office sets the lead

  1. Open the work or planning dialog (Plan technician sheets).
  2. Add technicians (Add technician / Add worker).
  3. On one row tick Lead.
  4. Save.

Only one lead at a time. Marking another clears the previous lead.

What the lead does on site

Action Lead Other technicians
I am on site Yes — only them No
Customer signature Yes Usually on lead’s sheet
Description, photos, materials Yes Yes, on their own sheet
Submit work sheet Yes Yes
Time window Their start/end is the frame Others must stay inside that frame

The system keeps helper times inside the lead’s start and end.

Wrong lead?

  • The right person cannot tap I am on site.
  • Customer signature lands on the wrong sheet.
  • Others’ times lock to the wrong window.

Fix: office opens the work → ticks Lead on the correct row → saves. Technicians reopen their sheets.

No lead marked?

On save the first technician is often set as lead automatically. Always check Lead is on the right row.

Single technician

They are the lead and get all main buttons.

Step-by-step on site: Worker terminal.
