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.
Tip: Adding as Requests is helpful in many ways:
- Clients know services are not yet confirmed, indicated by Requested in the Client Portal.
- You can email staff to see if they can accept the requests.
- Requests show in Scheduler with other Service Requests for easy management and follow-up.
- Clients receive the automated email when the services are scheduled.
