FieldCampJob Management Overview | FieldCamp
Learn how FieldCamp organizes field service work into jobs (work orders) and visits, with AI-powered scheduling, financial tracking, and team coordination built in.
Jobs (also called work orders) are the foundation of everything in FieldCamp. A job represents a service agreement with a client — from a one-time HVAC repair to a year-long lawn maintenance contract. Every job contains the client details, schedule, team assignments, line items, and cost tracking your office and field teams need.
For automated technician assignment, enable AI Dispatcher — it analyzes skills, location, and availability to suggest the best match for each job.
Create Jobs with AI
The fastest way to create a job is through the Command Centre. Type a natural-language request and FieldCamp handles the rest:
- "Schedule an HVAC repair for Smith Residence tomorrow at 2pm"
- "Create a recurring weekly cleaning job for Sarah Johnson starting Monday"
- "Book a 3-day insulation job for 123 Oak Street next week and assign Spray Crew A"
The AI fills in client details, finds the best time slot, matches the right team, and creates the job in seconds. See AI Skills for the full list of what you can do by chatting.
Jobs vs Visits
FieldCamp uses a two-level system:
| Concept | What It Represents | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Job | The overall service agreement | "Monthly pool maintenance for Smith Residence" |
| Visit | A single scheduled appointment within a job | "April 15 pool cleaning visit" |
A one-time job has one visit. A recurring job generates many visits automatically. Each visit tracks its own status, team, time logs, and expenses while rolling up into the parent job's totals.
The Job Lifecycle
Every job follows a predictable path:
Draft → Scheduled → In Progress → Completed → Invoiced → Paid
Jobs can also be cancelled at most stages. Visit Job & Visit Statuses for the full breakdown.
Key Terms
- One-off job — a single service with one visit, like a furnace repair
- Recurring job — repeats on a schedule (daily, weekly, monthly), generating visits automatically. See Recurring Jobs
- Multi-day job — spans consecutive days as one connected block. See Multi-Day Jobs
- Line items — the services and products attached to a job, used for pricing and invoicing
- Job logs — financial tracking for miles, expenses, labor, and profit. See Job Cost Tracking
Every job must be linked to a client. You can select an existing client or create a new one during job creation.
