| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Reference**        | Give the job a meaningful label (e.g. “Site Inspection – North”). Doesn't need to be unique.                  |
| **Allocated Time**   | Set how long the job should take, including travel. Format: `30m`, `1h`, etc.                                 |
| **Type**             | Select a work type (e.g., Field Form). You can create new Field Forms by clicking the form icon to the right. |
| **Association**      | Choose one: Customer, Asset, or Inventory (based on your sign-up selections).                                 |
| **Associated Value** | Depending on the association, choose from the drop down: Name, Asset ID, or Inventory Code.                                       |
| **Start / End Time** | Set the job’s scheduled window.                                                                               |
| **Assign Resource**  | Choose a Staff member, Contractor, or Crew.                                                                   |

## 🚦 When You’re Ready to Proceed
- Click Save if you want to finish the job setup later

- Click Dispatch to assign the job immediately to your selected resource

**Note:** Dispatch becomes available once all required fields (marked with ) are completed.

## 💡 Pro Tip
Use Fast Job Create (⚡ icon in the top bar) after your first few jobs. It speeds up recurring job creation with default settings like Type, Form, and Priority.
