Job Templates

Create reusable templates that pre-fill job type, description, labels, and products & services when you create a job.

Overview

A job template stores a standard set of job details — Job type, Job Description, Labels, tax rate, and Products & Services (line items). When you create a job from a template, Forz copies these fields into the new job. You still choose the customer (and other job-specific fields) on the New Job drawer.

Templates are ideal for repeatable service types. Define the description, line items, and pricing once, then reuse them whenever you create a job.

Note: Task Templates in Settings are a different feature. They are not the same as Job Templates.

Before You Begin

Prerequisites:

  1. You can open Jobs in the sidebar.

  2. Job types are available for your account. Defaults include Inspection, Installation, Maintenance, Repair, and Troubleshoot (Settings > Job Types if you need to review them).

Labels

  1. On the template detail view, use Select label under Labels.

Labels carry over to jobs created from the template and help with filtering and reporting.

Duplicate or Delete a Template

On the template detail view, use the actions in the top-right:

  • Duplicate — creates a copy of the template (including labels, description, and products & services) so you can create a variation without starting from scratch. Open the copy to rename it or adjust details.

  • Edit — opens Edit Job Template to change the template name (and related header fields).

  • Delete — removes the template. Jobs already created from it are not deleted.

Note: Duplicating a template creates another template. It does not create a job. Changes to a job created from a template do not change the original template, and updating a template does not change jobs already created from it.

  1. Go to Jobs and click + New to open the New Job drawer.

Troubleshooting

Problem

Solution

Cannot find Job Templates in Settings

Use Jobs > > Templates. Settings > Jobs does not list Job Templates.

Template does not appear under Use A Template

Confirm the template is saved with a Name and Job type. Both are required.

Line items missing on the new job

Open the template, edit Products & Services, add items, and Save before using the template again.

Tax is not applying

On the template, enable Apply Tax on line items and choose a Tax Rate (Select a Tax). Confirm the tax rate is still active.

Template changes do not appear on old jobs

Templates only apply at job creation time. Updating a template does not change jobs already created from it.
