Work Orders

The Work Orders tab gives your customers a self-service view of repair jobs, quotes, and completed work. When you send a quote from a work order in the Admin Dashboard, customers can review and approve it here—without requiring a phone call or email exchange.

What customers see

Customers access work orders from the Work Orders tab. The page groups work orders into four sections:

  • All — Every work order visible to the customer (draft work orders are excluded).

  • Needs action — Work orders with Quoted status, awaiting customer approval.

  • Active — Work orders in Approved, Scheduled, or In Progress status.

  • Done — Completed and invoiced work orders.

Each work order card shows the job number, scheduled date, title, status, assigned technician, property, and total amount. Quoted work orders display a Review this quote prompt.

Customer actions on quotes

When a customer opens a quoted work order, they can:

  • Approve — Accept the quote and its total amount. The work order transitions to Approved status.

  • Approve & sign electronically — Accept the quote and provide an electronic signature with their full name. You receive signed documentation for your records.

  • Decline — Reject the quote. The work order transitions to Rejected status, and the customer can optionally provide a reason.

What customers can view

Work order detail pages show photos, signatures, and an activity log—giving customers full visibility into the job history. Customers also see any customer message you added when creating or editing the work order.

Why this matters for managers

The portal reduces back-and-forth by letting customers approve quotes on their own time. Electronic signatures give you documentation without requiring in-person sign-offs. When a customer acts on a quote, the work order status updates automatically in the Admin Dashboard, so you can proceed with scheduling and dispatch.
