Photos attached to jobs
Would it be possible to have the ability to add a photo to the job/job card?
Like say the person booking and setting up the job could add a photo of the entrance to the property if it is something tricky to recognise?
Or maybe an operator mowing a paddock finds a wet spot or a dangerous object and they could take a photo and add it in the comments?
Or a broken post someone needs to go back and repair?
Create and complete a task on the fly
Thanks to Hayden for suggesting this at the recent rural contractors conference. His idea was to allow a driver/operator to create and complete an 'orphan task' on a mobile device. This would allow the driver/operator to record actuals against the task. Someone back in the office could then sort out whether this task belongs to an existing job or whether a new job should be created.
If executed, this idea would cover the following situations:
- where the driver/operator is unable to receive a new job (due to no cell cover) but where the customer wants extra work done while he's on site
- Where the dispatcher/scheduler can relay a new job by RT but can't send the job to a mobile device due to lack of cell cover
search for a specific operators job cards over the whole day
In the jobs cards menu can we search for an operator so I can print all their job cards (even across multiple tasks) for the day
email alerts for operators once a new task has been added against their name.
It would be great to have email alerts - or app alerts if an app is being built to that a user or operator is notified once a task has been added against their name, ether for that day or days ahead
Comments section . When entering data
When I am reviewing jobs and entering the actual hrs etc for invoicing. We often buy in material e.g. gravel, rock, novaflowl etc it would great if we could write a comment regarding where its from etc. Also when entering tasks, it would be a good idea to be able to write comments e.g load counts. doesn't necessary need to be printable, .
Also another quick thing, is it possible to add another task not normally associated with the task, or do we have to go and change the template everytime.
Many thanks
Carol
Printed Job Cards - not showing worker when printing in multiple
Thanks Katie and the team for highlighting this one...
A worker is scheduled against the job and can be seen in the job details https://prod.jobflow.nz/#/jobs, we can also print this single job card from the job details page and it shows the worker.
However when printed from the Job Cards page, with the rest of the job here https://prod.jobflow.nz/#/jobcards/ it doesnt show the worker.
Hi Rusty, while you are working on that one could...
Hi Rusty, while you are working on that one could you look at jobs moving from scheduled to completed automatically once all the tasks have been completed? This would take them out of the Schedule and un-clutter that window instead of waiting until the status is physically changed in the office.
Alternatively would it be possible to change the status easily in the Job tab view instead of going into each job individually.
Scheduler +1 day feature
Darcy had a great idea the other day when I visited. His suggestion was that as weather often interrupts their work a '+1 day' button that shifted the whole schedule out by a day would be a real time saver.
Changes to Invoices
We have just noticed after doing a batch of invoices in Xero that the 'charge type' field without the (hr / ha) reference is now pushing through to Xero rather than the 'tasks' field.
Tasks
It would be really useful to be able to get a report of a resource (Driver) by task by date range. is this possible.
