The status of a job must be changed manually. It can be changed in Trimble Sync Manager or in the Trimble Access software. To change the status of a job in Trimble Sync Manager, click in the job row and select Change status.
Jobs can have the following status:
-
New – the job has been created and its status has not yet been changed.
- In progress – use to indicate the job has been downloaded to the controller and work has started.
- Field Work Complete – use to indicate fieldwork is complete and all changes to the job have been uploaded to the cloud.
-
Closed (QA complete) – use to indicate all reports have been generated and the fieldwork has been verified as complete.
A job with a status of QA complete is closed and cannot be sent for rework unless you change the status to In progress.
A job with a status of New may have been downloaded to the controller and work may be in progress in the field.
