Staying on top of all jobs while maintaining great customer communication is critical to your success. The Jobs view on your ServiceM8 app gives you a complete overview of all tasks, jobs, unaddressed customer messages, and job-related questions from team members that need your attention. When applicable, job highlights are visible from smart lists without having to open the job, which lets you instantly see why a job requires your attention. (Note that job highlights for jobs requiring action are also visible from the Online Dashboard in the Jobs list, and from the Queues board.) In the ServiceM8 App, tap Jobs twice to access the Jobs view. jobs view in app Depending on how you have customised your Jobs view, you will see a number of smart lists.
