Waiting List Customization

We’ve greatly expanded the customization options connected to the Waiting List in Smart Service. After updating to 105, you will find a colored bar at the bottom of the scheduling screen labeled View Waiting List.

The new Smart Service Waiting List

The new Waiting List includes separate tabs for work orders and proposals/estimates.

The new Added to Waiting List field displays the date an item got added to the waiting list, giving users the ability to audit the use of the Waiting List itself.

Send Estimates to QuickBooks

Smart Service can now create an estimate in QuickBooks that mirrors your Smart Service estimate. This takes place when converting an estimate to a job in Smart Service (you can set your preferences for this feature can in the Estimates tab in the Settings menu). This feature helps businesses who need to perform estimates in the field while preserving job costing or progress invoicing in QuickBooks.

Online Payment Portal
