> The job page opens with the work that is outstanding, and the write-up can be spoken rather than typed.

Open a job and the first thing you see is whose it is, where it is, and what it still needs. The paperwork and the history sit underneath.

## What is left on this job

Mucka works out what is outstanding and puts it in one list near the top: a signature nobody has taken, a certificate sitting in draft, an accepted quote with no invoice raised, a question about the job nobody has answered.

Press a row and it takes you straight to that job. When there is nothing left, the list is not there at all — no ticks, no empty box, the page simply moves on to what happened.

Every row carries the same weight on purpose. Sign-off is optional, and which of these matters most on any given day is your call, not ours.

## Where the job has got to

Status is a track across the top rather than a dropdown: **Booked**, **On my way**, **On site**, **Done**. The steps behind it are filled in with the times they happened, so the track answers "how long has he been there" without anyone having to work it out.

Only the next step is a button. Tap it and the job moves on. Anything else — putting a job back, cancelling it, one of your own statuses — is behind the status itself: press where it says where the job has got to, and the full list opens.

If you have renamed your statuses or added your own, Mucka uses your names. A status that is not one of the four steps shows as a plain label you can press to change, with no track drawn — guessing where it sits would be worse than not drawing one.

## Getting the write-up done

This is the one owners ask us about most: work gets done and nothing gets written up.

When a job has been started and has no notes on it, the job page says so and offers the microphone. The engineer talks, Mucka writes it up and puts it on the job. It takes about ten seconds, which matters when you are in a loft with cold hands and the alternative is thumb-typing.

Both the microphone and typing need a signal — the write-up is not held on the phone the way a certificate or a customer's signature is. In a cellar or a plant room, get back into range before writing it up.

From the office it works the other way round: the same block offers to ask the engineer for the write-up, or lets you type it yourself if he has already told you on the phone.

A job that finished with nothing written up shows up in the list of what is outstanding, so it can be chased rather than just noticed.

## Ask Mucka

- "Add a note to the Bell Lane job"
- "What's left on the Whitfield job?"
- "Mark me as on my way"
