Whether it’s an installation, repair, or inspection, here’s how a typical job flows through FieldEx:

Create Your First Work Order


Use a Job Template to pre-fill standard details or create one manually.

Assign:

  • Customer

  • Site

  • Linked Asset

  • Job Type (e.g., Repair, PM, Installation)

Click Submit to save the job.

Tip: A consistent work order process means faster service, better records, and a more confident field team.

Assign the Work Order


Planners assign the job to an individual technician or team.

  • Use Smart Assign for automatic selection based on role, zone, or availability.

  • Once assigned, the job appears instantly in the technician’s FieldEx Mobile App.

Technician Executes in the Field


From the FieldEx mobile app, the technician will:

  • Accept the Job

  • Navigate to Site

  • Check in to the Site

  • Open Checklist linked to the job type

  • Upload Photos and attachments

  • Capture Digital Signature from the customer

All steps are tracked with timestamps, and updates sync in real time.

Update Job Status


Technicians and planners update job statuses like:

  • In Progress

  • Waiting for Parts

  • Completed

Status visibility and control depend on user roles:

  • Technicians cannot mark jobs as Verified.

  • Planners oversee full lifecycle transitions.

Generate Completion PDF


After completion and customer sign-off:

  • FieldEx auto-generates a branded PDF

  • Includes: Job info, photos, checklist responses, technician notes, and signature

  • Can be downloaded or emailed to the customer directly from the app or web
