# How to create a job in the iOS app
> Learn how to create a job in the iOS app in ServiceM8.
## 1. Create a new job.
From the ServiceM8 iOS mobile app, tap **Jobs**, then tap **+**.
Tap **New job**.
## 2. Complete the job card fields.
* **Client Name:** Use to search for existing customers, or to enter a new customer name. This can be an individual's name (for example, the home owner), or a company name.
* **Job Address:** Enter the job address. If the customer is already in the system, the address will automatically populate. If you are creating a new customer, ServiceM8 will suggest addresses as you type.
* **Contact Details:** Enter the Job Contact information.
* **Job Description:** Enter the scope of work so that your team knows what needs to be done.
* **Job Status:** New jobs should start as a *Quote* (if the customer needs to see and accept a quote first) or *Work Order* (if the job's confirmed to go straight ahead).
* **Category (optional):** This field lets you organize your jobs any way you'd like. Default categories are *After-Hours*, *Standard*, *VIP*, and *Warranty*, but you can customize categories to meet your needs.
## 3. Tap Save.
You will be prompted to dispatch the job to a staff member. Tap **Cancel** to continue to add more information to the job card before scheduling.
## 4. Complete any additional fields.
* **Checklist (optional):** To ensure a job is done properly, add a list job requirements or tasks for field technicians to check off in the app while onsite. Under *Checklist*, tap **New Item** to add a new task. If you include the word "Photo" in a checklist item, such as "Take a photo of the installation", the camera in the app will automatically open when the technician taps the checklist item, then save the photo to the Job Diary.
* **Billing Contact (optional):** Complete if the job's billing contact is different than the job contact (for example, if you are billing a landlord but the tenant is the job contact)
* **PO Number (optional):** Enter the customer's purchase order information here, if applicable.
* **Job Notes / Attachments (optional)**: Use the Job Actions bar at the bottom to add any notes about the job that don't belong under the Job Description or Checklist fields.
## 3. Close the job card.
At any point, you can tap **Done** to close the job card.
That's it, you have created a new job! The new job card automatically syncs with your Online Desktop. When you are ready, you can either schedule the job or build a quote.
