Set up job types and their service checklists

A job type (Maintenance, Spa Maintenance, Opening, Closing, Green-to-clean, and any you add) carries its own service checklist, its own forms, and its own badge color. Set these once and every visit of that type shows the tech the right tasks.

Where: Manage -> Job types, checklists & forms

  1. Click Manage at the top of the dashboard, then open Job types, checklists & forms to see every type in one list.
  2. To rename a type or change its badge color, edit the name box or the color swatch on its row (it saves as soon as you click away).
  3. Click Checklist on a type's row to open its task list. Add tasks with '+ Add task', reorder them with the up/down arrows, and click Save checklist.
  4. Turn on the '✦ Required' box next to any task that must be checked before the tech can finish that visit. Leave it off for optional tasks.
  5. Click Forms on the row to pick which forms show for this type, and mark any form Required so it must be filled to complete the job.
  6. Click Fields to hide job-screen fields that don't apply (for example, hide the water test on an acid wash) and to require a signature, photo, or recap at close-out.
  7. To add a new type, type its name in the box at the bottom, pick a color, and click '+ Add type'.
Good to know
  • Required tasks and required forms are enforced on both the tech's phone and the server, so a required step genuinely cannot be skipped.
  • Only the owner sees 'Reset to defaults'. It restores the built-in types' colors, checklists, and field settings. Your custom types and all customer data are never touched.
  • A type you just added has no list of its own yet, so its Checklist panel shows the Maintenance tasks your techs actually see on it and says so. Edit them and click Save checklist to give that type its own list.
  • Deleting a custom type moves its jobs and pool defaults back to Maintenance and removes that type's checklist and form mappings, so reassign anything important first.
