# The job detail page: what it shows

Opening a job shows a single page that pulls together everything about that work. At the top, a summary panel shows the property name and address, the customer name and billing address in a separate column, the visit types being performed, and the assigned technicians. When the same visit type is scheduled on more than one visit, it is listed once with a count (for example, `Priority Service Call × 3`), where the number is how many visits on the job use that type.

The badge beside the job number shows the folder of the latest Jobs outcome task on the most recently created visit, while that task is still open. If that visit has no outcome task, or its latest task is completed, no badge is shown. Tasks from older visits do not replace it. Creating another visit from a task does not create a new outcome. You can still review all tasks and their statuses in the **Tasks** tab. The status on each visit describes that visit separately.

Below that is a tabbed panel with Files, Inspection Reports, Deficiencies, Work Acknowledgments, Tasks, and a Clock In / Clock Out record. If you have permission to see them, Invoices and Quotes tabs also appear, listing the invoices and quotes linked to this job. If those tabs are missing but you need them, contact your business's administrator to review your role.

**Inspection Reports** and **Work Acknowledgments** open with the latest submitted records first, using the creation date for records that have not been submitted.

The **Deficiencies** tab shows findings from the job’s visits, with separate external and internal descriptions and a Photos button showing each finding's photo count (select it to open the photo viewer). Select a PDF filename in **Inspection Report** to open the report preview without leaving the job. Reports without a generated PDF show **No PDF yet**; manually added findings have no source report. Long descriptions show a three-line preview; select **Show more** to read the full description in place, then **Show less** to collapse it. Tracked deficiencies show **Open** or **Resolved**, with the resolution date beneath the status; use **Mark Resolved** or **Reopen** directly in the Actions column. Select the rest of a row to open its Deficiencies task; if no task is linked, it opens the source inspection report. The job keeps all its findings visible, including findings cleared from other lists. Standard findings without tracking have no resolution controls.

If Job Costing is turned on for your business and your role can view it, a Job Costing card also appears, showing revenue against labor and material cost for the job. See [Job Costing on a job: revenue, costs, and margin](/customers-and-work/jobs/job-costing-on-a-job.md).

The Files tab lets you add a new file, search by file name, switch between a list and a gallery of preview tiles, and, when there is more than one, download them all at once. Next comes the Visits card, which lists each visit on the job with its date, time, technicians, and expandable details such as visit notes, invoice items, and due date. Visits appear by scheduled date and time, newest first, with unscheduled visits at the bottom. The first visit's details are expanded when you open the job. Items corrected to a quantity of zero are omitted from the invoice-item list and count; you can add a visit, send a visit reminder, and delete a visit from here.

A Timeline at the bottom records changes to the job, its files, its visits, and tasks linked through visits or inspection reports. Task status changes, folder moves, notes, and timeline comments appear alongside the job's other activity, with their original dates and users. Completed tasks remain in this history. Inspection-report activity also appears here, including deleted reports. Select **View changes** to compare full values, review removed work orders or deleted comments, and open retained attachments. Report contents require inspection-report access. Use the timeline's search and person, activity, or date filters to find an entry.

Along the right side you will find a Job Summary card (for roles with Job Summary send access — see [Send a Job Summary](/customers-and-work/jobs/send-a-job-summary.md)), editable custom fields for the job, a Contacts card showing the contacts tied to the job's visits, a Recurring Service Completions summary, and a Delete Job button.

Some panels only appear when the relevant feature is enabled for your business.

When items have been planned while scheduling, **Parts, Labor & Items** shows a compact **Planned for this job** list. It includes parts, labor, and one-off items even with Inventory and Job Costing off. All visits on the job share this plan; edit it through a visit's scheduling form. Planned quantities are separate from actual usage recorded by the crew. Inventory and costing controls keep their usual feature and permission requirements.

**Timeline** is always at the bottom of the page, below the main content and side cards on every screen size.

> **Where to find it:** Scheduling > Jobs, then click a job row to open its detail page

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://learn.withessential.com/customers-and-work/jobs/the-job-detail-page-what-it-shows.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
