The menu

The menu runs across the top of the portal. Most of it is the same for everyone. A few screens only appear for the kinds of work that use them, so you never see screens you do not need.

What everyone sees

MenuWhat it is for
PipelineWhere you start an estimate (New Estimate). Also lists estimates you have not finished, and every job with a button to download its estimate.
ProjectsEvery job, grouped by where it stands: Leads, Estimating, Booking, Scheduled, In Progress, Completed & Billing and Closed. This is where you schedule, assign crew and move a job along.
Action QueueWhat needs you today, most urgent first. A good place to start the morning.
ScheduleThe week ahead as a list or a calendar: who is where, and when.
CustomersEveryone you have quoted or worked for, with their contact details and jobs. See Customers and reviews.
RecurringYour repeat customers and their upcoming visits, for kinds of work that repeat.

The Job Pipeline screen. A New Estimate button sits at the top right. Below it, an In-Progress Estimates list has one unfinished estimate with Resume and Delete buttons, followed by a list of jobs with their status and Ops plan and Download buttons.
Pipeline. Unfinished estimates wait at the top until you resume or delete them.
