Create Job Activity Types

Job Activities are known as Job Activity Types in Settings and are the steps you take to complete each Job. These can include sales, production, and follow-up.

Job Activities should be activities that get assigned to a person on a particular day and can have statuses assigned to it. Remember to close Jobs, every Activity in the Job must be marked Complete or Canceled.

If you discover that you have many Jobs with Activities that never get scheduled or completed, that's a sign that you don't need that Activity in your standard Job Template.
We strongly recommend keeping things as simple as possible as you’re getting started.You can always add more Activities later. If you need help or want to talk through your process with one of our friendly Systemize experts, email support@moraware.com.
