What are jobs?
Learn how a job in SimplyScapes holds the photos, designs, site plan, plants, tasks, and client conversation for one landscape project at one property.
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.
A job represents one project at one property. It's the place everything about that project lives, so you don't have to remember which design went with which client, or where you saved the measurements.
What a job holds
- The property — the address the work is happening at
- The client — who you're doing it for (professional workspaces)
- Photos — what the space looks like now
- Designs — what you're proposing it becomes
- A site plan — measurements of the property
- Plants — the plant list for the project
- Tasks — the work to get it installed
- The conversation — comments and a record of what changed
Why it's structured this way
Most landscape projects have a long middle. A client enquires, you visit, you photograph, you design, you price it, they think about it, and eventually you build. Along the way the details scatter: photos on a phone, measurements in a spreadsheet, the quote in email.
A job keeps that trail together, so picking a project back up after three weeks doesn't mean reassembling it.
Who it's for
Jobs is built primarily for landscape professionals managing client work. Homeowner workspaces get a simpler version focused on their own property.
What a job is not
A job isn't a replacement for a design. You'll still create designs in the Visual Designer and measurements in the Site Planner — a job is what connects them to a client, a property, and a schedule.
