Saved Searches (formerly known as QuickPicks) are a very handy feature of the ServiceM8 Mobile app - designed to save you time when creating invoices and quotes on the go. Saved Searches allow individual staff to add ‘shortcut’ buttons to their job’s billing screen by saving a material/service search query for future use. By tapping a Saved Search keyword you will immediately be taken to a list of matching items from your inventory to choose from. E.g. For locksmiths, use a saved search for ‘Lockwood’ to bring up all Lockwood products. For a mechanic, use a saved search of a product type ‘Hose’ to bring up all matching inventory products. Here’s how to create a Saved Search:
