Log work on a job
Logging work records what was done on a job. With a completed date, it also finishes the job. Without one, it records progress on work still under way.
Log work
- Open the job and click Log work.
- Enter What was done.
- Choose the Type: Preventive, Corrective, Major or Replacement.
- Set Completed to the day the work finished. "Clear the date to log work that is still in progress."
- Enter the Hours and the Cost.
- Under Parts used, choose a part in Choose a part, enter how many, and click Add. Each part shows how many are on hand. Parts used come out of stock.
- If the job has a checklist, answer each step. The checklist shows only while there is a completed date.
- Enter What you found.
- Under Photos, add photos. See Add photos to a job.
- On corrective work, choose the problem, cause and remedy if your site uses them. See Record failure codes on a job.
- Click Save work.

Check and preventive jobs
Check and preventive jobs are finished by recording an inspection, not by logging work. On these jobs the form shows "This job is finished by recording an inspection." You can still log work on them. See Record an inspection.
