Adding Process Steps for Jobs

Using FYI's automation engine, you can save time managing job administration tasks and data by using FYI actions to create or update jobs. For example, you can automatically create recurring jobs, or roll forward previous jobs to a new period and update job details such as job states or other custom job fields.

There are two types of Job process steps:

    • Creating Jobs
      Allows you to auto-create jobs from job templates and 'roll-over' jobs from prior periods to new periods. 

    • Updating Jobs
      Allows you to automatically change job details as the work progresses, such as job start and due dates, manager, and partner.
