Your Guide to Stage Customizations
A guide to the customizing job stages for your job board.
Keep your job board clean with job stage customizations. Stage customizations allow you to track your unique work, and give you better control over the actions needed to move a job through the workflow. This is a great way to ensure SOPs are being followed, homeowners get the best possible customer experience and of course - make sure nothing slips through the cracks.

Job Board Set Up
The stages in your job board reflect your job workflow and all the steps you take to move a job from a new lead all the way to final payment. The goal of your job board is to not only manage your day-to-day but also improve the way you work.
Rename
Renaming the job stage allows you to adjust the language to fit your existing terminology better, or can be used to change the purpose of the stage completely.
When you rename a stage, the jobs associated with that stage remain and automatically reflect the “new stage”.
💡 Note: Any automation triggered by the job stage will also reflect the new name and will continue to run.
Re-order
Re-ordering stages in the workflow make it easier to adapt one workflow to multiple use cases. Some companies prefer to use the job board for detailed sales pipelines, adjust the workflow to reflect team handoff, or include other sub-trades like siding and gutters.
💡 Best Practices: How a job moves through the workflow stages impacts the reporting insights. When customizing the job board it’s important to keep in mind how that will be reflected on the performance dashboards.
Enable and disable
This gives you the flexibility to keep your job board clean and efficient. Now you can choose only the stages you need to keep your workflow running smoothly.
⚠️ Disabling a stage hides it from your job board. Any jobs associated with that stage will also be hidden on the board and are only accessible in the list view. Before you disable stages, remember to reassign jobs to an active stage on your job board.
A note on automations…
Automating your workflow ensures your jobs run smoothly, your teams work together more efficiently, and you get the peace of mind that nothing slips through the cracks. Customizing your job stages is the next step in streamlining your work and we think these updates will supercharge your efficiency. If you’re already using automation there are a few things to keep in mind…
Automation Templates
We don’t think this is a deal breaker, but we’ve had to make some adjustments to automation templates. Because stages are customizable, templates are only available for locked stages New Lead, Job Completed, Lost, and Unqualified. The good news…you can still create automations from scratch using your shiny new job stages!
Disabled Stages
This shouldn’t come as a shock, but when a stage is disabled or deleted, the automation will cease to function. We won’t disable the automation, but because the stage is not active, the automation simply won’t run. When this occurs, we’ll display a warning message in the automation list view. Again, nothing earth shattering but when you’re disabling stages also remember to check your automations!
