Jobs section

Use jobs to plan and perform any kind of work that needs doing. Maintain your organisation's assets and fix reported defects as they arise, or schedule preventative work. Use work units to quantify and cost a job's requirements. Attach photos from your device to record completed work. To learn more, see Jobs in Asset Classic.

While jobs are typically registered against asset items, they can also be registered against other activity items. A job may arise from an inspection or directly from a confirmed defect.

When viewing an item's details, the Jobs section lists any past, present and future jobs related to it.

Select a job item to open it and view its details. To return to the original item, use the breadcrumbs to navigate backwards, or use your browser's back button.
