Start work on a job

When to use this

When you need to start travel to a job, record arrival on site, or begin on-site work.

What you need first

  • You can see the job in My Work.
  • Safety forms and asset pre-starts are recommended before on-site start.

Steps

1. Open the job and choose the next field action. 2. Choose one action:

3. If you choose Start Work, take before photos (recommended), then confirm. 4. Safety and pre-start items are shown as warnings in this flow (not blockers).

  • Start Travel to begin travel timing.
  • Arrive On Site when the crew reaches the job.
  • Start Work to begin on-site work timing.

What happens next

  • Travel, arrival, and on-site start are tracked separately.
  • The job moves into in-progress when Start Work is confirmed.
  • You can complete safety forms and pre-starts after starting, but do them as soon as possible.

If it goes wrong

  • If the app says the job is already started, check if it is running on another device or was started earlier.
  • If the app says the job is paused, use Resume Work (do not start a second time).
  • If you started travel by mistake, use Cancel Travel before starting on-site work.
