Creating a One-Off job Updated March 22, 2023 15:41

Overview

 There are two kinds of jobs in Jobber, one-off jobs and recurring jobs. One-off jobs are used for:

• Jobs that have a single visit
• Jobs that have multiple visits and the client will be invoiced after the last visit. Eg. The job is four days long, and the client is invoiced after the last visit.

Create a one-off job

You can make a job from many areas in Jobber, including the schedule, from a client’s profile, or from the dashboard. You can also make a job by converting a quote. In each area, click the More Actions button in the top right, then click Job.

You will then be brought to the job creation screen.

Select client

To select the client, who the job is for, click the + button beside client name.

You can then choose an existing client or create a new one.

Job title, instructions, and job number

You can enter a short job title at the top of the job edit page. This will show up as the title of the job in the schedule and on the app. The job title will not show to the client.

The instructions field is where you an add directions for your team for this job. This is also an internal field and the instructions will appear on each visit.

You can also change the job number. Job numbers count up from the highest job number currently in your account. If your current highest job number is #123, the next job you make will default to #124.

Schedule

To schedule the visit(s) for your job select a start and end date. If this extends across multiple days, then Jobber will make a visit for each day. If your visit schedule covers multiple days, you can set how often you will visit the client by entering if the schedule repeats. Eg. You could select custom schedule to make visits only on Mondays to Fridays if you will be visiting the client for multiple weeks, Monday to Friday.

A mini version of the month view of the schedule is shown to show what times are available, but the calendar can also be hidden to expand the other scheduling fields.

Add a start and end date and enter times. If no time is selected the visit will show as an anytime visit on the schedule. Once the start date and times are filled out, if you are using arrival windows you'll see a section for arrival windows appear with the duration that was set in your work settings. Learn more about arrival windows. 

Assign your team to the visits. If no users are selected, the visits will be unassigned and can be assigned later.

If you do not want to schedule the job now, you can check off schedule later. The job will then have an unscheduled visit. This visit will appear on the schedule as unscheduled.

Invoicing

If you want to invoice for this job, leave the Remind me to invoice when I close the job checked.

If you do not want to invoice for this job through Jobber, uncheck this box. The job will then go Archived when it is marked complete, and not ask to be invoiced.
