Setting up the employee permissions correctly will make sure you and your employees can keep the business moving along as smoothly as possible. When setting up your field employees you can choose what they can and cannot see, for each employee individually. 

Add/edit jobs: Required for all techs who create or edit jobs or estimates out in the field. Jobs and line items are read only when this is off.

Delete/cancel jobs: Allows your employee to delete or cancel a job.


Take payments & see prices: For employees who need to be able take payment in the field. This will allow employees to see pricing to present to the customer, collect payment, and send out invoices on the spot, saving tons of time on paperwork.

Online booking availability: Your customers will be able to book online time slots where at least one of your employees with this permission is available. The job will still be automatically assigned to the POC (Point of Contact) and will need to be dispatched appropriately.

Show techs next job: Ensures your employee can only see the next job they are assigned to and not all of their scheduled jobs.

Show full schedule: Allow your employee to see all of the jobs scheduled to their calendar.
