Overview

Use search in the Field Mobile App to find jobs, projects, customers, and locations from one screen. With the right permissions, you can also act on jobs assigned to your teammates. This helps you answer questions in the field without calling the office.


Who uses this feature

  • Technicians

  • Applies to all business types

  • Primarily benefits Plumbing, HVAC, Electrical, and Roofing/Exterior trades

Feature configuration

  • The Field Mobile App is optimized for iOS, iPadOS, and Android phones and tablets. For more, see System requirements and mobile app information.

  • If you're using the Field Mobile App and need support, please contact (through the office) or reach out directly to support@servicetitan.com.

  • Account configuration is required to use this feature. Account administrators can contact your Customer Success Manager (CSM) or Implementation team to enable it for your business.

  • The following permissions are required to use this feature. Please contact your office for details.

    • You need at least one of these to search:

    • Search & View My Jobs

    • Search & View All Jobs

    • Search & View My Projects

    • Search & View All Projects

    • Search & View Customers & Locations

    • Take Action on Searched Jobs & Equipment

Note: When you search for customers and locations, your existing technician permissions configured in the office under Settings > People > Technicians > Permissions > Customer Details also apply.

Things to know

  • Search works only when your device is online.

  • The results you see and the filters available to you depend on the permissions your office turns on for your role.

  • A job assigned to someone else opens as a read-only details screen unless your role has the Take Action on Searched Jobs & Equipment permission.

  • What you can see on a job, customer or location records still follows your existing permissions.

Best practices

  • Search while you have a signal, because search works online only.

  • Use filters to narrow a long list of results before you open a job.

  • Before you cover a teammate's job, confirm with your office that your role has Take Action on Searched Jobs & Equipment.

  • Add a note when you act on a teammate's job, so the next person has context.

Use cases

  • A technician finishing a tune-up gets a question about the homeowner's last repair. They search the address and review the job history.

  • A senior technician covers a sick teammate's last call. They search the job number, open the job, add notes, and mark it complete.

  • A field supervisor gets a call from a customer who needs an invoice. They search the customer's name and send the invoice from the job.

  • A crew lead finds the next phase's job under a project and attaches site photos before the crew arrives.

Take action on a job assigned to someone else
