  1. Is there a standalone Mobile App? Not as of today. However, this is a known feature request. Our field user views are web-based, optimized for mobile devices, and require an active internet connection.

  2. Can Field Users make project changes? No. Field users can view projects and tasks, take notes on tasks, track time, and mark tasks as complete. Creating and managing Opportunities/Projects requires an Office User seat.

  3. Can payment terms be configured as a % of product/labor? Not as of today. However, this is a known feature request. Currently, the two options for Payment Terms are % of the project or fixed amounts.

  4. Can we aggregate products and labor when pushing the estimate to QB vs. doing itemized? Not as of today. However, this is a known feature request. Currently, this info is itemized by default.

  5. Can multiple users/admin users all get notified when a Proposal is Accepted on the Account (regardless of who's the owner)? Not as of today. However, this is a known feature request. Additional Users can receive these notifications if they’re manually added as a resource on the Opportunity or by configuring email forwarding outside of the application.

  6. Is there a calculated labor option? Not as of today. However, this is a known feature request.

  7. Is there a direct calendar sync? Not as of today. However, this is a known feature request. We provide the ability to export ICS files, which can be imported into personal calendars such as Google or Outlook.

  8. Can Field Users see ALL Tasks or just the ones they're assigned to? By default, Field Users can only see the Tasks that have been shared with them and the high-level overview of the projects they’re added as a resource on.

  9. Is there a global timekeeping option? Not as of today. However, this is a known feature request with talks of future implementation. As of today, we can track times against projects via Tasks and track time on service calls.
