Opportunity Status | Action Date | Finished? - This is where your salesperson can record where they are at in terms of their follow ups on the job, including the last follow up point (ie interested or unresponsive), the last follow up date, and a check box indicating that the required number of follow ups have been completed before the job is moved to Declined status.

Action Date: this field is typically used to mark when the opportunity status last action was done, its manually updated.

Preferred Start Date - A manually entered date range, this is the set preferred date to start the job. Note: This is often used to have a date range print on contracts and proposals.

Preferred End Date - A manually entered date range, this is the set preferred date to end the job. Note: This is often used to have a date range print on contracts and proposals.

Ad Source - This is where the customer ad source (market source) would pull into the job, though it is available for editing in the case where the job ad source (market source) must differ from the default customer ad source (market source).

PO# - A manually entered field, this is used for recording any PO#s associated with the job. Note: your proposals can be edited to display this field, and your invoices will display it by default (unless this has been removed as per your request during the customization process.)

Class - This is where the customer class would pull into the job, though it is available for editing in the case where the job class must differ from the default customer class. Class reporting is used with the proper QuickBooks integration/subscription.

Tracking # - A manually entered field, this is used for recording shipping information for any goods or equipment that may be shipped to the customer's site location.

Call First - This check box is used to alert your crew if they need to contact the client before going to the job site. Unchecked by default, if you check this box it will turn the client's phone icon red in the Arborgold Crew app, and it will display a 'Call First: Yes' on most default printed work orders.

Send Future Renewal? - This check box is used to signify whether or not a job will be included in the renewal batch when you run renewals at the end of the season. Checked by default, you will only want to uncheck this box if no services on the job are meant to renew. Note: unchecking this box is not necessary if the services on the job would not qualify for renewal anyway, such as a job containing only tree removal services.

Service Surcharge: These can be edited as a company default setting, so moving forward all jobs can carry out the same default surcharge, more info on this article can be found here.
