Job Hold Reasons

Whenever a job is put on hold, indicate the reason for this for better communication, monitoring and follow-up. For uniformity and ease of documentation and report generation, create a set of Job on Hold Reasons that are to be used when pausing a job.

To create and manage Job on Hold Reasons, go to Settings > Scheduling > Job Hold Reasons.

The page defaults to the list of Job on Hold reasons that have already been created, presented in table format. This is also the page where these reasons are created, edited and deleted.

  • Reason – The hold reasons.
  • Show in Mobile App – The checkboxes show if the reason is an option that can be selected by field employees using the mobile app or not.
