Automatic Job Numbers
Empower allows for automatic Job Numbers.
For example if the first Job was say Job Number 1.
Then the next would be number 2, then 3, etc.
Jobs can start with any number - eg if you start at 10,000, the next one would be 10,001, then 10,002 etc
Jobs can be prefixed with anything you wish - eg if you wish to have say J- as a prefix then your first Job would be J-1, and the next J-2 etc
Automatic Job numbers can be overwritten if desired and Job Numbers can still be typed in as well.
To enable automatic Job Numbers,
1. From the Main Management Menu, select Tools > Settings - then click on the Job tab (see highlighted below)
2. Clicking Advanced (highlighted above) displays some additional settings.
From these, click on Automatic Job Numbers.
Once you have done this you should see
Note that only an Administrator can alter these.
3. Ensure that Enable Automatic Job Numbers is set to on (as displayed above).
4. To add a prefix to Job numbers enter text in the Prefix Job Numbers with field - in the example above all automatic Job numbers will start with Q-
5. To start Automatic Job numbers at a number other than 1 enter a number in the Job Numbers start at field. In the example above this is 1000.
6. Click on Save.
7. So as an example, for the above settings, the first Quote would be Q-1000 and the next Q-1001, etc.
8. Once these are set up Automatic Job Numbers are enabled. In the Job > New page you should see a new button Get Next Number (see highlighted below).
9. Clicking on that will get the next Job Number (see highlighted below)
10. In a similar manner, automatic Job Numbers can also be used when copying Jobs. For more information on copying Jobs see Copy Jobs.
