Modified on Wed, 13 Dec, 2023 at 10:22 AM

Sometimes you want to add a new Order with Service Requests so services do not show on any schedules until they are approved. This is done from the Client Account, under Service Requests.


More About Service Requests

When clients use their Client Portal to request services online, they are not added to the live schedule until you review and approve the requests. The requests are added to the Service Requests Tab where you can view, edit, email and confirm services, then add them to the live Schedule. During the scheduling process, you can add Scheduling notes with details and communication.
