How do I create a job?
Start a new job in SimplyScapes from a property address, add your client, and begin collecting photos and designs for the project.
Coming soon
Jobs is rolling out gradually and isn't switched on for every account yet. It's enabled workspace by workspace during the rollout, so you may not see Jobs in your left navigation — that's expected, and nothing is wrong with your workspace.
Want early access, or have thoughts on what you read here? Get in touch. We're actively looking for feedback from landscape pros while we build this, and it genuinely shapes what ships.
Every job starts with a property address. That address is what connects the job to maps, measurements, and the site plan later on.
To create a job
- Click Jobs in the left navigation
- Click New job in the top right
- Enter the property address — start typing and choose from the suggestions so the location is recognised
- Add a client (professional workspaces) — choose an existing client or create one as you go
- Give the job a name if you want one. If you leave it blank, the property address does the job
- Click create
Why the address matters
Choosing an address from the suggestions rather than typing it freehand means the job knows where it is on a map. That's what lets a site plan pull the right aerial imagery later, without you searching for the property a second time.
If you only have a rough address, you can still create the job and refine it later from Job details.
Job numbers
Every job gets a number automatically — JOB-1039, for example. You don't set it and you can't change it. It's there so a job has a short, stable reference you can use in conversation and paperwork even if the name changes.
For homeowners
Homeowner workspaces skip the client fields entirely — you are the client. Creating a job asks for your property address and lets you add a photo straight away.
Tips
- One job per property project. If you're doing the front and back yard as one engagement, that's one job
- A returning client with new work is a new job, not a reopened one — that keeps your history honest
