How do I use the Jobs feature?

A quick guide to how to use Onside's 'Jobs' feature for visitors and admins.

Once enabled, visitors checking in to the property will choose from a list of pre-selected jobs the property admin has chosen. This helps to avoid any confusion as to why they're on the property. It also provides a great insight to other visitors checking-in, as they can see if the job you're doing might conflict with theirs.

If a visitor checks-in to do a job which is a high risk to others (e.g. spraying or using heavy machinery), all visitors and admins will be notified, as well as any visitors checking in after them.

Take a look at our guides below for more information on how you use this feature, or simply watch this quick video.

Setting the Job list

As a property manager, you will be notified via a visitor's usual check-in notification what job they will be performing on your property. If they choose a high-risk job, such as bird scaring with a firearm or chemical spraying, it will also trigger notifications to you, your admins, and everyone else checked-in to the property at the time. It will also show new visitors there is someone on the property doing a high-risk job.

To enable this feature, you will need to select the jobs required for your property.

1. Login to your admin account via a computer;
2. Click on one of your properties;
3. Click the 'Jobs' tab;
4. Then select which jobs would be applicable to your property. These are the options the visitors will get when they sign in to your property.
   Jobs considered high risk will be indicated with a   marker. When this job is selected, all users checked-in will be notified of a high risk job being undertaken;
   
   

Copying your Jobs list to another property

If you have multiple properties, you can copy your Jobs list from one to another, or even to all of your properties at once! Talk about a time saver!

Once you've created your Jobs list following the above instructions, simply click on the green copy icon at the right side of the page and then select which properties to apply it to.

* Note: This will not overwrite existing jobs on the properties you're copying to.

Jobs for Visitors

From the property check-in page, simply select from the drop down bar the work you'll be doing during your check-in. If you can't find the option you need, select 'Other' instead.

After choosing the job type, at the bottom of the screen you also have the option to add a comment to give the property owner a little bit more detail.

If you're going to be doing something particularly hazardous, we suggest adding a bit of detail, such as working area and chemicals.

If you'd like to change the job you're doing while checked in to a property, simply tap the side menu button

 and select Jobs from there to be taken to the job selection screen. Your job change will reflect in reporting as well as to the other visitors.
