Account Preferences

In this section, you can control if you want to automatically release appointments to technicians and set a default invoice status for newly created invoices.

Note: This feature is only available to Premium and Enterprise customers.

Automatically Release Appointments to Technicians

Technicians can only see released appointments in their mobile and tablet applications.

1. Click to check Yes or No, in the Enable Auto Release option.
   • If you choose "Yes", appointments will be released to your technicians as soon as they are assigned.
   • If you choose "No", you must manually release each appointment to your technicians from the dispatch board or job page. Appointments created and scheduled by technicians will always be released to those technicians, regardless of this account setting.
2. Click Save when done.

Automatically Resend Quotes That Have Been Submitted

Note: This feature is only available to Premium and Enterprise Subscription customers. Please reach out to your Account Manager at am@servicetrade.com

1. Click to check Yes or No, in the Enable Quotes Auto Resend option.
   • If you choose "Yes", Quotes in the Submitted status will be automatically resent as they reach the date parameters set by your company. Quotes will be resent to the same recipients with all the specifications, including the email body, as in the initial communication. Go to Step 2.
   • If you choose "No", no actions will be taken. Skip to Step 3.
2. Select from the Days drop-down menu the number of days prior to the quote's expiration that you want it to auto-resend.
3. Click Save when done.

Note: These Quotes will send at 7 am UTC, which is 3 am EST.

Item Type for Ad-hoc Items

When you create an ad-hoc item (an item that does not appear in your item list) on a job, quote, or invoice, it will be assigned this item type. Changing this setting affects all existing ad-hoc items already on jobs, quotes, and invoices, as well as new ad-hoc items created in the future.

This setting does not affect how other ServiceTrade accounts see ad-hoc items on jobs that you subcontract to or from them.

2. Select the Item Type.
3. Click Save when done.

Technician App Preferences

This setting allows you to control a feature in the ServiceTrade Mobile App that has currently not yet been released but is on our product roadmap.

For now, it is best practice to leave both of these settings on disabled.

When an entity changes, a notification message is sent to the specified URL. See the webhook API documentation for more information.
