What this guide covers

This guide explains how to link contacts to properties and jobs in JobsiteOn. You will learn how to create these links, why they matter, and how linked records improve your workflow.

Why linking matters

Linking contacts to properties and jobs creates a relationship chain:

Contact to Property — Shows where a customer's service locations are.
Contact to Job — Shows what work has been done for a customer.
Property to Job — Shows what work has been done at a location.

These links enable accurate billing, efficient dispatching, and complete customer history.

Linking a contact to a property

From the contact detail page

Open the contact at /contacts/[slug].
Click the Properties tab.
Click Link Property.
Search for an existing property by address.
Select the property. The link is saved immediately.

From the property detail page

Open the property at /properties/[slug].
In the Contacts section, click Link Contact.
Search for the contact by name.
Select the contact to create the link.

Linking a contact to a job

Contacts are linked to jobs during job creation:

Navigate to /jobs/new.
In the Contact field, search for and select the customer.
The contact is now linked to the job.

You can also change the linked contact on an existing job by editing it.

Tip: Link both the contact and the property when creating a job. This creates the fullest possible relationship chain for your records.

Multiple links

A single contact can be linked to multiple properties (for example, a property manager with several locations).
A single property can be linked to multiple contacts (for example, a building with multiple unit owners).
A contact can be linked to many jobs over time.

Unlinking records

Removing a contact-property link

Open the contact detail page.
Go to the Properties tab.
Click the Unlink icon next to the property.
Confirm the action.

Unlinking does not delete either record. It only removes the relationship between them.

Note: Unlinking a contact from a property does not affect jobs that were already created with both linked. Existing jobs maintain their own contact and property associations.

Best practices

Link contacts to properties before creating jobs for faster job setup.
Review contact-property links when a customer moves or sells a property.
Use the contact detail page to see all linked properties and jobs at a glance.
Keep links updated to ensure your records reflect current relationships.
