Defining Job Types in Ascora helps you standardize and streamline your workflow by automatically applying default descriptions, checklists, custom forms, and even color-coding for different categories of work. This not only ensures consistency across quotes and jobs but also saves time by reducing repetitive data entry. Whether you’re setting up a job for maintenance, installation, inspection, or any custom category, Ascora’s Job Types feature offers flexibility and clarity for your entire team.

By configuring Job Types, you can:

  • Automate Default Checklists and Descriptions: Ensure your team follows the correct steps every time.
  • Assign Custom Forms: Prompt required forms at check-in or completion for better compliance and record-keeping.
  • Color-Code Job Types: Quickly identify job categories at a glance.

When creating quotes, you are able to select the same list of job types so you can also put your default Quote Description.

Once done with the configurations, click Save to proceed and when you create a job or a quote, you'll be able to select the job type that you've created.

Note: You can also assign a default color for the job type as well as select a Custom Form which you can set as a required form before First Check In or after Job Completion.
