Things to know

  • Pausing only impacts you and not any other technicians who are scheduled or working at the same time as you.

  • You must be dispatched to the job again when you are ready to return to the job site.

  • Since an appointment can remain paused indefinitely, only use it when you know you can come back the same day. Otherwise, the job might stay uncompleted.
