Introduction
Joblogic provides the ability to track jobs which can then be managed by the assigned job statuses. They can also be used for searching, categorizing, reporting and detailing the work.
This user guide will walk you through what each job status signifies.
Assigning Job Statuses
Navigate to the left-hand side panel to access Jobs > All Jobs.
Most job statuses will be assigned automatically as you go through your normal processes of logging a job, assigning an engineer, completing the job, etc.
You can however also manually update statuses if required. Click on the job number to view the Job Details page.
The job details page contains all the components of the job, with Job Status being the first one.
Your Job Status will also be displayed and colour coded at the top of the page (Orange for open statuses, Green for closed and Red for Cancelled)
In order to change the Job status click on the orange ‘Edit’ button on the top right corner of the screen.
Next, you can view all available statuses by choosing the Dropdown option under the Status header.
Select the status you wish to assign to the job. For instance, ‘Attended’.
You job will be updated once you have clicked Save at the bottom of your page.
Status definitions

Once the visit has been completed on the app by the engineer, the job will automatically update to Completed. You can also manually update the Status via the dropdown or by clicking the Complete Job button at the top of the Job Details page to close down the job.

Firstly, navigate to Jobs > All Jobs
Next, click the Status dropdown from the top right.
You will be able to tick the status options you wish to filter the results by. You can pick multiple statuses at once.
