With OctopusPro’s accept and decline lighting installation request workflows, fieldworker lighting installation job request management tools, and settings to allow electricians and lighting technicians to accept or decline lighting installation requests, electricians and lighting technicians can review new assignments, accept suitable work, decline lighting installation jobs that do not fit their availability or lighting installation service area, provide decline reasons, and suggest alternative times when enabled.
