How to Add Fields to Job Central
The job central page comes with some default columns like Job Code, Status, Client etc.. At times it may be necessary to view some additional information about the job rather than the standard headers. Let me illustrate this with an example.
But first lets take a view of the default Job Central Page:
As you can see we have some jobs listed for Acme Consultancy. For our example let us assume that Acme has couple of different sites in the city and jobs have to be allocated accordingly. Ofcourse you can set up sites and choose them while configuring the job, however this default view does not tell us which site the job is scheduled for.
For the above scenario we need some more fields to be displayed along with Suburb. We have built in column headers which can be added from this same page. Let us take a look, how..
Hover your mouse over to any field name and a small arrow is displayed to the right. Clicking on it brings a sub menu.
From here select Colums and a further menu containing different Field Names is displayed. Select 'Site Name'
Site Name would now be added to the field list. By default the new fields is added to the extreme right.
We can drag this next to any field name. In our case we have put this next to suburb.
Here is how the Job Central looks now:
This information comes in very handy to track the job for the client.
You could also add other fields like Priority, Service Description etc..or remove them from the list by de-selecting them to suit your requirements.
