What's the difference between a job and a visit?

The job is the agreement; the visits are the appointments.

Jobs and visits are the two halves of every piece of work in Fieldsity — and once the difference clicks, the whole app makes more sense.


The short version

A job

The work you agreed to do — who it's for, which property, what it involves, and the line items you'll bill.

A visit

A dated trip to the property to do that work. Visits are what you see on the Calendar and what your techs work through on their phones.


One job can have many visits

A one-off job has a single visit. A recurring job — weekly mowing, quarterly maintenance — is still one job, with a visit generated for every occurrence. That's what the Recurrence step in the booking flow controls.

This split is also how billing works: invoices are created from visits, so a recurring job can be billed visit by visit while the job itself stays open.

Tip: Rule of thumb — the job is the agreement, the visits are the appointments.
