Jobs
A Job wraps up all of the important details you need to complete a work or service request from a customer. Jobs consist of schedules that outline each task-related visit to the customer site. These schedules are called Schedules in Workstair and are integral to keeping track of customer visits. There are two types of Jobs: one-off and recurring. One-off Jobs may have one or more schedules, but no repeating schedules. On the other hand, recurring Jobs have schedules that repeat for a specific period of time.
