# Creating a Job

> Book a new job from web or mobile, link the customer, assign techs, and set a date so it lands on the schedule instantly.

# Overview

Got a new job to schedule? You can create one in FieldPulse from anywhere, whether you're at your desk on the web app or out in the field on mobile. Link it to a customer, assign your team, set a date, and hit save. Your team gets notified and the job appears on their schedule.

***

# On Web: Admin Experience

Users can create job records for customers and assign them to team members. Job records can be created in different ways, but we’ll walk you through creating a job record from the Jobs tab in the left-side menu.

Begin by selecting *Jobs* under *Work* in the left-side menu, then click *Create Job*.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/erojgXs99C5J_zAB/static/images/_api/482403-creating-a-job/01.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=erojgXs99C5J_zAB&q=85&s=427b5cefaef1219b00f6af405eda4b75" alt="Click on Create Job" width="1200" height="885" data-path="static/images/_api/482403-creating-a-job/01.png" />

If you have created Job Templates, you can quickly insert them by selecting *Import Template*. Learn more about Job Templates [the Job Templates guide](/using-fieldpulse/work/job-templates).

Now, you'll need to link a customer to the job record. You can select an existing customer, or create a new customer. If you don't want to link a customer, consider using a task. To learn more about tasks, visit the [Creating a Task](/using-fieldpulse/work/creating-a-task) article.

When you link a customer, notice that the *Contact* field will appear below. Here you can choose a contact who is associated with the specific location you are performing the work at or choose any contact who is associated with the linked customer.

Enter a title and subtitle (if applicable) for your job that describes the work to be performed. ***Note: The subtitle may not be greater than 150 characters.***

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/erojgXs99C5J_zAB/static/images/_api/482403-creating-a-job/03.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=erojgXs99C5J_zAB&q=85&s=4e7523c8cec45e8fc158c0f074bede6d" alt="Linking an existing or new customer to the job record" width="2310" height="952" data-path="static/images/_api/482403-creating-a-job/03.png" />

## Assigning Users to a Job/Service

Use the *Assigned Users to Job* field to select team members for the job. You can select individual team members, multiple team members, or entire teams. Once you've selected team member(s), click *Save* to add them to the job. You can utilize the *Find Availability* button and FieldPulse will automatically suggest time slots based on your scheduling requirements and let you know which employee is available.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/erojgXs99C5J_zAB/static/images/_api/482403-creating-a-job/04.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=erojgXs99C5J_zAB&q=85&s=8120470dd4ab2b20d63117c6b3956476" alt="Assigned Users to Job field with team members and teams selected" width="1142" height="1302" data-path="static/images/_api/482403-creating-a-job/04.png" />

## Job Tags

Now, you can add job tags if needed. You can use job tags to organize your jobs and color code them to make the schedule easier to read at a glance. You can use this field to search for existing tags or create a new one, just be sure to press *Enter* after typing a new tag. Learn more about job tags [the job tags guide](/using-fieldpulse/work/custom-tags-for-jobs).

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/erojgXs99C5J_zAB/static/images/_api/482403-creating-a-job/05.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=erojgXs99C5J_zAB&q=85&s=6f42c50926c234d45367331030523257" alt="Job Tags field for adding and color-coding organizational tags" width="1802" height="402" data-path="static/images/_api/482403-creating-a-job/05.png" />

## Selecting a Custom Status Workflow Unique to the Service

Here you can select one of the unique custom status workflows you've created within *Company Settings*. [the Custom Status Workflows guide](/using-fieldpulse/work/custom-status-workflows) to learn more about *Custom Status Workflows*.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/erojgXs99C5J_zAB/static/images/_api/482403-creating-a-job/06.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=erojgXs99C5J_zAB&q=85&s=c2943294a487d6a26244f799ba53138f" alt="Selecting a custom status workflow for the job" width="1072" height="594" data-path="static/images/_api/482403-creating-a-job/06.png" />

## Scheduling the Job/Service

Use the date and time options to schedule the job. To find open availability in your team members’ schedules, click *Find Availability* to open a giant chart view of your schedule. FieldPulse will also notify you of scheduling conflicts when you select a date and time for a job.

*Note:* If you'd like to disable scheduling conflict notifications, simply uncheck the scheduling conflicts checkbox. This setting will carry over to future jobs as well.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/erojgXs99C5J_zAB/static/images/_api/482403-creating-a-job/07.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=erojgXs99C5J_zAB&q=85&s=2288e75683c0f0787f33942ade907610" alt="Scheduling the job with date and time options" width="2252" height="430" data-path="static/images/_api/482403-creating-a-job/07.png" />

You can also set a Customer Arrival Window date/time on jobs. An arrival window helps to minimize the time customers spend waiting for service. This can be used in customer communication templates to let your customers know when to expect you and your team.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/erojgXs99C5J_zAB/static/images/_api/482403-creating-a-job/08.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=erojgXs99C5J_zAB&q=85&s=80f084577050b13707b3c4d5517c1f48" alt="Find Availability chart view of team members' schedules" width="1568" height="210" data-path="static/images/_api/482403-creating-a-job/08.png" />

# FAQs

**Can I manually change the “next number” of my Job Records?**

Yes, you can manually change the “next number” of your Job Records by navigating to *Company Settings > Jobs > General* and locating the field titled *Next Job #*. After saving, the next created job will use this number and numbering will auto-increment from there.
