What a job workspace is

  • A job opens when a quote is accepted. The request becomes the job.
  • It is a shared record. Both organizations work in the same place rather than in parallel copies.
  • The two sides do not see identical detail. The provider sees costs, drafts and non-billable items the buyer does not.
