Common questions about digital job sheets, documentation and work order history
What is field service documentation software?
Field service documentation software keeps the information created throughout a service job connected to the same searchable record. It can combine digital job sheets, work orders, technician notes, jobsite photos, service forms, signatures, communication, invoices, payments, issues, service reports and change history.
Can OctopusPro replace paper job sheets and electronic job sheet apps?
Yes. A booking can act as a connected digital job sheet and work order containing the reference and status, customer, site or asset, scheduled appointments, assigned fieldworkers, services, pricing, notes, attachments, forms, checklists, signatures, communication, invoices, payments, issues and activity history. Visibility depends on enabled modules and permissions.
Can fieldworkers create proof of work and job completion records?
Fieldworkers can use the app to review assigned work, update job status, record work performed, add technician notes, upload jobsite photos or files, complete forms and checklists, collect signatures and create proof of work or proof of service from the field where enabled and permitted.
Can records be linked to properties, vehicles or other assets?
Yes. Customer Properties can represent properties, vehicles, pets, children, equipment, appliances, rooms, sites, bill payers and other repeatable records. The relevant record can be selected on a booking so its service history is easier to review later.
Does OctopusPro keep work order history and a job audit trail?
Yes. Booking History provides a chronological, read-only job audit trail for key booking events. Depending on the workflow, it can include creation, schedule and status changes, assignment updates, operational edits and financial milestones. Broader work order history can also be reviewed through customer, user, fieldworker and communication activity logs.
Can customers upload photos and documents to a job?
Yes, when the relevant Customer Portal settings are enabled. Customers can be asked to upload photos during online booking and can upload supporting PDFs or documents to an existing booking through the portal.
Can I export a field service report or job completion report?
Yes. A booking can be exported as a PDF work order, digital job sheet, booking confirmation or field service report. Depending on the template and settings, it can include the job reference, customer, site, services, schedule, notes, work details and selected payment information.

Business owners may search for job sheet software, a digital job sheet app, electronic job sheet software, digital work order software, field service report software, job history tracking software, work order history software, proof of service software or field service documentation software.
