# Overview

> Get oriented on the Jobs page — find any job, read its status at a glance, filter and search the list, switch between the table and map, and jump straight to the next action.

The **Jobs** page is your home base for every job at your branch. From here you can see each job's status at a glance, find the one you're looking for, and jump straight to whatever needs doing next — assigning a crew lead, reviewing a plan, or scheduling the work.

You'll find it as **Jobs** in the main navigation. The heading at the top reads **Jobs**, with a short reminder underneath: *View job info, status, and any action items.*

## Read the jobs list

By default the page shows your jobs in a table. Each row is one job, with these columns:

* **Client** — the client the job belongs to. Click anywhere on the row to open the job's project page, where its details, plan, and forms live.
* **Project** — the project the job is part of.
* **Project Tags** — the tags applied to the job's project, shown as labels, or a dash if the project has none. A tag that's since been deactivated appears dimmed.
* **Assigned To** — the crew lead responsible for the job, or a dash if no one is assigned yet.
* **Sales Person** — the person who created the job's estimate, or a dash if none is linked.
* **Created** — the date the job was created.
* **Updated At** — the last time anything on the job changed.
* **Status** — where the job is in its lifecycle (see below).
* **Work Area** — the areas of the property the job covers, shown as tags.
* **Actions** — a three-dot menu with shortcuts for that job.

<Note>
  The list shows the jobs for your current branch. Cancelled jobs are hidden by default — switch to the **Cancelled** tab (or add it as a status filter) to see them.
</Note>

## Understand job status

Every job carries a **Status** that tells you where it is in the process — from **Requires Crew Lead** when it's first created, through planning, scheduling, and production, to **Closed Job** or **Cancelled**. For what each status means and how a job moves between them, see [Job status lifecycle](/reference/jobs/job-status-lifecycle).

The tabs across the top of the list — starting with **All Jobs** — let you jump to a single status, and each tab shows a count so you can see how many jobs sit in each stage.

### Change a job's status

If you have permission, the **Status** cell is a dropdown. Open it on the job's row and pick a new status. A confirmation appears (**Status updated**) once the change saves. Moving a job back to **Requires Crew Lead** asks you to confirm first, because it permanently deletes the job's plan and the crew's logged hours — the status only changes once you choose **Delete plan and hours**.

<Note>
  The dropdown lets you set the job to any status, so move it deliberately. If you don't have permission to change status, the status simply shows as a colored tag instead of a dropdown.
</Note>

## Find a specific job

There are a few ways to narrow the list down.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Search by name">
    Use the search box at the top left — it reads **Type a name...** — and start typing. The list filters as you type.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Filter by status or date">
    Open the filters to narrow by **Status** (pick one or more), by **Crew Lead**, **Sales Person**, or **Work Area**, or by date — **Date Created**, **Closed Date**, or **Updated At**. These stack with search, so you can combine them.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use the status tabs">
    For a quick cut, click a status tab at the top of the list (for example **Pending Review**) to see only the jobs in that stage.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  You can sort the table by clicking a column header — for example, sort by **Created** or **Updated At** to bring the newest or most recently touched jobs to the top.
</Tip>

## Switch between table and map

In the top right of the list there's a view toggle. Switch to the **map** view to see your jobs plotted by location instead of listed in a table. Click any pin to see a quick summary — project, phone, email, and branch — with a link to the job's project page. Switch back to the table view at any time; your search and filters carry over.

## Jump to the next action

Every row ends with an **Actions** menu (the three-dot button). It has **View Project** to open the job's project page and **Media Gallery** for its photos and media. When the next step lives somewhere else, the menu adds it at the top: **Review Plan** for a job in **Pending Review**, or **Schedule Job** for a job in **Requires Scheduling**.

<Tip>
  You can also click anywhere on a job's row to jump straight to its project page.
</Tip>

On phones, each job card has a button for its next step (**Assign Crew Lead**, **Review Plan**, **Schedule Job**, or **View Profile**) with the same three-dot menu beside it.
