Site visits

Most jobs start with a visit to measure or survey the site. Site visits books them, gives them to a person, and keeps the photos and measurements taken there, ready for the quotation.

A visit that was booked but not marked done by its date shows as Missed, so you can call the customer back.

Nobody marked it Done or Cancelled, and its date has passed. Edit the visit and:

  • set the status to Done if it happened (add the notes while you are there), or
  • set a new date and the status Rescheduled, or
  • set Cancelled if it is not going to happen.

The Missed count at the top goes down as you clear them.
