Dropdown menu showing options to book, dismiss, or delete a visit.

Note: If a visit is associated with a job, it can't be dismissed.

Tip: Dismiss versus Delete

  • If you are not performing a visit that was committed to, but you do not want to alter the agreement or price that the customer pays for the service agreement, you should Dismiss the visit. This marks the visit as complete, recognizes the revenue, and doesn't alter the Scope of Work.

  • If you want to alter the agreed-upon visit schedule, you should Delete the visit. This completely removes the visit from the agreement and alters the Scope of Work. Deleting a visit allows you to alter the active agreement without needing to cancel it and create a new agreement for the customer.

  • When booking a job, the details of the visit, such as the job summary, job type, job duration, campaign value, and equipment, are pre-populated in the Call Booking screen. This is the information that was entered during Step 4: Scope of Work when creating the agreement.

  • If the Visit Window is in the past, the job appears in red to indicate that action is required. Hover over the  to view the reason.
