How to Schedule a Service Visit (Service Ticket)

Service Tickets are the fastest way to schedule a one-off visit for a customer. Here's how to create one and get it on the schedule.

Written by Fred Pape

Service Tickets are designed for quick, one-time visits — think a repair call, a seasonal cleanup, or any single-visit job that doesn't need a full estimate. Here's how to create one and get it scheduled.


Step 1: Create the Service Ticket

You can create a Service Ticket from either the web app or the mobile app. Pick whichever fits where you are — the end result is the same.

Desktop / web app

Go to Service Tickets in the left menu and click the + button. Select the customer and property, then click Create.

Mobile app

Open the customer's record in the mobile app. Tap the three-dot menu (⋮) in the upper right and tap Create a Service Ticket. Pick the property if you're prompted, then continue.

(There's no + New menu on the mobile app for Service Tickets — the path is the customer record + three-dot menu, not a global new-item button.)

After you've created the ticket (either path)

Add at least one task to the ticket and include an estimated time — this is what tells the scheduler how long the visit will take.


Step 2: Make sure it's Sold and Approved

Before a Service Ticket will appear in the scheduler, two things need to be true:

  • The job must be marked Sold

  • The task must be Approved

Check both before moving on — if either is missing, the ticket won't show up in the schedule.


Step 3: Schedule it

Go to Scheduling and click Add to Schedule. Find your Service Ticket in the list, then either drag it onto the date you want or click it to open the scheduling window.

In the scheduling window:

  • Set the date and time

  • Assign a Crew Lead

  • Click Schedule Job

The visit will now appear on the schedule.


Heads up — don't confuse tasks with Service Tickets

There's a "Task" option in the scheduler dropdown that lets you add generic internal to-dos. These are not the same as a Service Ticket — they won't be linked to a customer or job, and they won't behave like a scheduled visit. If you're scheduling a customer visit, always use a Service Ticket.
