Schedule a Visit

Create a scheduled job for a customer and site, or a one-off visit outside the regular plan.

Updated September 2, 2026

Job statuses: Scheduled, Scheduled - Delayed, In Progress, Completed, Cancelled. Recurring plans put visits on Schedule automatically. Use this when you need a visit that is not already on the calendar.

  1. Open New Job

    Go to JobsNew Job. The page title is New Job.

  2. Pick the work type first

    When more than one work type is enabled, a row of tabs sits at the top of the form under What Are You Scheduling?. Pick the work type before anything else: it decides which fields the form shows and which sites you can choose, and switching it clears sites that no longer match. With only one work type enabled there are no tabs — you set Type further down the form instead.

  3. Choose scheduled or one-off

    If the work type allows one-off visits, Visit Type offers Scheduled Job and One-Off Job. Scheduled is the regular visit. One-off is outside the seasonal window or fixed interval — turn that on per work type under SettingsWork Types (Allow One-Off Jobs).

  4. Pick customer, site, date, and crew

    Choose the customer, the site, and the Scheduled Date, then assign a crew. Selecting more than one site creates one job per site. For a scheduled visit on a contract work type, the form links the active covering contract for that site (required). When exactly one contract matches, it is linked for you and named on screen; when more than one matches, pick the right plan under Service Contract.

  5. Create

    Click Create Job. The visit appears on Schedule and in Jobs.

Plans already create the weekly stops

After a quote is approved, do not recreate those visits by hand. Extra copies are easy to dispatch and hard to bill correctly.

Verify it worked

Open Schedule on that date. The job is Scheduled at the site you picked, with the contract linked if the work type requires one.

Frequently asked questions

The form will not save without a contract. Why?

A scheduled visit for a work type that uses service contracts must link an active covering contract for that customer, site, and work type. Approve the quote first, or create the visit as a One-Off Job if Settings → Work Types allows one-off work for that type.

Should I create the weekly stops by hand?

Not when they belong to a plan. The plan generates visits on its interval so they stay tied to billing.
