What this guide covers

This guide shows you how to track job progress in JobsiteOn. You will learn how to use status indicators, task completion percentages, and the activity feed to monitor work from start to finish without needing to call your field crew for updates.

Understanding the progress indicators

JobsiteOn provides three ways to measure job progress at a glance:

Status badge — Shows the current stage of the job (Pending, In Progress, Completed).
Task progress bar — Displays the percentage of tasks completed out of the total.
Activity feed — A chronological log of every action taken on the job.

Tracking progress from the jobs list

The jobs list at /jobs gives you a high-level view of all jobs and their current state.

Navigate to /jobs.
Each row displays the job title, status badge, and assignee.
Use the Status filter to show only In Progress jobs.
Click any row to drill into the detail page for more information.

Tip: Sort by Updated to see which jobs have had recent activity, pushing the most active work to the top.

Using the task progress bar

Tasks provide the most granular view of job progress.

Open the job detail page at /jobs/[slug].
Scroll to the Tasks section.
Each task shows a checkbox indicating whether it is complete.
The progress bar at the top of the section fills as tasks are checked off.
When all tasks are complete, the bar reaches 100%.

What the progress bar tells you

Progress	Meaning
0%	No tasks started
1–49%	Early stages of work
50–99%	Significant progress made
100%	All tasks complete, ready for review

Note: Completing all tasks does not automatically change the job status. You still need to manually move the job to Completed when you are satisfied the work is done.

Reading the activity feed

The activity feed on the job detail page records every event:

Status changes with the user who made the change and a timestamp.
Task completions and additions.
Team member assignments and removals.
Notes and attachments added.
Customer communications sent from the job.

Scroll through the feed to see the full history. The most recent event appears at the top.

Setting up progress notifications

To receive automatic updates when jobs progress:

Navigate to your notification preferences in account settings.
Enable Job status change notifications.
Enable Task completed notifications if you want granular updates.
Choose your delivery method: in-app, email, or both.

These notifications keep office staff informed without requiring manual check-ins.

Filtering the jobs list for progress review

Use the jobs list filters to create focused progress views:

Status: In Progress — See all active work.
Priority: High or Urgent — Focus on time-sensitive jobs.
Assignee — View progress for a specific team member's workload.
Due date — Identify jobs approaching their deadline.

Best practices

Review the In Progress filter daily to catch stalled jobs early.
Encourage field crews to check off tasks as they complete them rather than at the end of the day.
Use the activity feed during team meetings to discuss job status without switching between tools.
Combine task progress with status updates to get both micro and macro views of job health.
