Summary

A Job Status is a list of steps your job will use as it runs through a workflow. You need to create all possible Job Statuses that could be used in Oneserve. Once created, you can use the same status across multiple workflows so will not need to create duplicates.

Job Status Groups

The Job Status Group is used to group similar status' together for reporting. For example, if you have multiple steps before work starts you could class them as Pending.

Each group is colour coded so when you review a job, the status will allow users to quickly identify what part of the workflow the job has reached.

Job Status Group	Description
	Pending - The Pending Job Status includes the steps before work commences on site, e.g. Waiting to Start, Schedule Appointment or Make First Appointment.
	In Progress - Used to identify when work has started but is not yet completed, e.g. Work in Progress.
	Complete - Used for all stages between completed work and invoicing. If you have review stages such as Operationally Review or Commercially Review, this group should be used.
	Ready for Invoice- this Status should be used when a job has been reviewed, all costs have been allocated and the job is ready to be invoiced.
	Non Chargeable - An option should you have jobs that need to be marked as completed but shouldn't be included in invoicing.
	Invoiced - Should be used once the costing on the job has been finalised and no more cost alterations should be made. This group will cover your Invoice and Paid statuses.
	If your jobs do not fit into the Invoiced or Non Chargeable groups, you can use one of these groups instead.
	Two separate options to accommodate Cancelled and Aborted jobs.
