Overview
We get it, running a service business means juggling a lot of moving parts. Site Visits let you schedule additional appointments tied to a single job, perfect for follow-ups, multi-day installs, or any work that takes more than one trip. Instead of creating separate jobs every time your team needs to come back, you keep all the visits organized under the parent job, with their own dates, teams, notes, and statuses.
On Web: Admin Experience
Adding a Site Visit to a new or existing Job record
You can add a Site Visit while creating a new job or after the job already exists. Open the job record, scroll to Add Site Visit, and fill in the details in the pop-up.
In the pop-up window, you can add the following information:
Rename the site visit
Select a Custom Status Workflow
Set a date/time for the visit
Add Notes (internal)
Add Field Notes
Assign team members
Customer Arrival Window (if enabled)
Press Save to add the site visit to the job record and schedule. If you need to add additional site visits, repeat the process.
Note: Site Visit Notes carry over to job templates and appear in Site Visit reporting.
Scheduling conflict checks for your Site Visits
When you create or edit a site visit, FieldPulse automatically checks for overlaps against every scheduled job/site visit on your calendar. You'll see a Check Scheduling Conflicts button on every site visit record, so a tech won’t accidentally get scheduled for a job and a site visit at the same time.
The Booking Portal picks this up too. When customers book online, availability now factors in both jobs and site visits, so they only see slots that are truly open.
Insert Site Visit notes into your Estimate and Invoice records
Rather than copying & pasting and clicking back and forth between records, you can insert site visit notes directly into estimates and invoices.
Here's how to use it on an Estimate or Invoice record:
Open the Notes tab
Click the Choose Visit Notes to insert dropdown
Multi-select any combination of notes (Job Notes, Job Field Notes, Site Visit #1 Notes, Site Visit #1 Field Notes, etc.)
Click Insert Notes. Every selected note drops into the notes field at once
