Customizing Job Statuses by Job Type

Step-by-step instructions

1. 
   Step 1

   This guide shows how to customize job statuses and sub-statuses for each job type in FieldMagic.

2. 
   Step 2

   Navigate to Settings and select Configure Job Status.

3. 
   Step 3

   For each job type, select the main statuses to display across the top and define the sub-statuses for that type.

4. 
   Step 4

   Add new sub-statuses using the Add Sub-status button; you can also edit existing main statuses if needed.

5. 
   Step 5

   When adding statuses, prefer adding over removing because only a limited number of main statuses fit across the top, whereas sub-statuses can be added without limit.

6. 
   Step 6

   Enter custom values such as Awaiting Scheduling, Awaiting PO, Awaiting Approval, or Client Approval.

7. 
   Step 7

   FieldMagic automatically assigns a colour to each status; you can adjust the colour if required.

8. 
   Step 8

   For each sub-status, click the role field and select which user roles are allowed to set that status.
