How to Create and Edit a Job Status?

Job statuses are intermediate checkpoints within a job that can be updated by the Field Technicians and other stakeholders like Administrators, Dispatchers, and Supervisors to help understand the current stage of a job.

These Job Statuses can be customized to launch a checklist which must be completed before the job moves on to the next step. Or, they can be used to send a custom notification once the job reaches a specific status.

Note: Job Statuses can be edited or deleted only by an Administrator.
