We've released an update that featured a few welcome additions to invoicing functionality in the system. This was all thanks to our amazing customers who gave us great feedback to improve the Loc8 experience.

  • Invoices now include a description field similar to jobs and quotes. This can be configured to automatically copy over the description from the job but will be editable in the invoice inspector.
  • The invoice reference field can now also be configured to copy over from the job.
  • Both the description and reference fields have been added to the default HTML view for invoices as well as the default PDF export template.

A new home screen

Shared by Loc8 • July 12, 2023

The home screen has been replaced with a far more powerful dashboard space that will provide meaningful insights for users into the day to day activity across your Loc8 system, starting with helpful pods that provide an operational overview of your customers, workforce, and financial activity from quotes through to invoices.

In addition, if you choose to purchase the dashboards addon the home screen can be upgraded to a full blown dashboard solution including multiple configurable dashboards that support custom layouts and the ability to add your own pods that are driven by the workspace views that you control. The options are virtually limitless.

Moving forward we will be introducing specialised pods that provide more valuable insight into the performance of your business. If you have any suggestions for what you'd like to see, please let us know, we'd love to hear from you!
