Create a New Job

New Jobs can be created in a number of different ways in Ascora: - 

1. From the Job List
2. From the Customer Details
3. By Converting a Quotation
4. By Clicking and Dragging on the Schedule

Depending upon your particular workflow, one way may be faster/easier for you - for example recording a new Maintenance Job over the phone with the Customer is usually easier from the Scheduler as you can create the Customer, Job and Booking all in one go.
