Editing or Cancelling Jobs

One-off jobs: click on the job and edit or cancel it.

Recurring jobs:

  • Edit this occurrence only - changes one instance
  • Edit all future occurrences - changes the recurring pattern from now on
  • Pause the job to stop auto-scheduling without deleting history
  • Cancel a single occurrence or the whole series

Team members receive notifications for new assignments, changes, and (on Pro) configurable SMS reminders to clients before scheduled visits.

  • Set up recurring jobs for your regular contracts - it saves time and stops things slipping
  • Use the team view to balance workload across the crew
  • Set realistic estimated durations - the dashboard analytics use them to show how visits track against expectations
