Job Alerts

Job alerts allow your team to communicate when things go wrong or when an important process needs to be followed. When a job alert is created, all assigned staff members will receive a notification with a link to the alert.

For example: Damaged part - An alert can be triggered by the team to let management know that a work order will need to be created so this can be rectified.
