ServiceFire (Sales Team) — Job Tasks: Viewing, Updating Checklists, and Tracking Progress (Video 4)

Action Steps (Do these after you watch)

1) Open the Tasks list (two ways)

You can access a job’s task list either:

  • From the Job record (click through to its tasks), or

  • From the left sidebar: Tasks

For fastest testing:

  1. Go to Tasks

  2. Filter by Created Today (or the most recent date range)


2) Understand what you’re looking at (task list overview)

A new task list typically starts as:

  • Not Started

  • With a set of checklist items/fields that need to be completed for that job

Click into a task list to view details like:

  • Created date

  • Who it’s assigned to

  • Linked Job/Project

  • Linked Sales rep


3) Update task checklist fields (if you’re asked to)

Inside a task record, you’ll see editable fields (these are customizable and may evolve). Examples shown:

  • Checklist Status: Open / Partial / Complete

  • Approve Plans: Yes / No

  • Alarm Info: Yes / No

  • Permit: Yes / No / N/A

  • Initial Drawings: Complete / Needed / Not Available
    …and other checklist-style options.

To update:

  1. Change the relevant field(s)

  2. Click Save

  3. Refresh if needed to confirm updates


4) Verify changes in Activity + completion tracking

After you save updates:

  • The Activity/History section logs what changed

  • The task list reflects progress (e.g., “1 item completed” or similar completion indicators)

This is how the team tracks what’s happening at a glance.


5) Use Notes for context and handoffs

Like other areas of the app:

  • Notes exist on tasks

  • Notes help document what’s going on, questions, blockers, or next steps

  • Teammates can tag you if they need sales input (and you’ll get notified)


What Sales Should Know (so you don’t overthink it)

  • Tasks are mostly for admin/ops execution, but sales can use them to:

    • Check progress quickly

    • Answer customer “where are we at?” questions without hunting people down

    • Provide info if ops tags you in a note


Quick FAQs

Where do tasks come from?
A task list is created when a proposal is accepted → that creates a job → and a task list is created for that job.

Do I need to fill out tasks as sales?
Usually no — but you can update fields if someone asks you to (or if you’re adding helpful info).

Will the task fields change over time?
Yes — these checklists are expected to be customized based on real usage and team feedback.
