## Key facts

- The job number is the key that ties reports, certificates, photos, timesheets and invoices together
- Statuses typically run new, assigned, in progress, reported, ready for invoicing, closed
- A register in a spreadsheet drifts from reality; a live register shows what every technician is doing now
- Auditors sample the register to pick jobs for vertical audits

Also known as: job list, job log, job number register, jobs page.

## What a good register does

Answers instantly who is on which job, which jobs are waiting for reports, which are ready to invoice and which have been open too long, and lets anyone find a job by client, PO number, asset or date.

## The job register in AMPS

The AMPS jobs page is the register: supervisors create and assign jobs, inspectors see their own jobs page, and each job page holds reports, photos and documents, timesheets and costs. Marking a job ready for invoicing gives administrative staff real-time visibility. Site-wide search finds jobs, assets or documents by any relevant information.
