Improved tax support

Loc8 avatar
Shared by Loc8 • July 12, 2023

Tax support has been added to quotes and jobs in order to support standard business practice for our customers, whilst also enabling a much cleaner flow of financial values between quotes, jobs and invoices.

Along with this, we have also introduced support for multiple tax types with standardised naming and availability of ‘Total tax’, ‘Total including tax’ and ‘Total excluding tax’ fields across the quote, job and invoice workspaces.

Please note that these changes impact the names of fields and columns in workspaces, reports and exports.

Shared by Loc8 • July 12, 2023

Date / time based automation rules are now supported for both Jobs and Assets, including minute and hour offsets.

One of our top-requested features, this allows you to set up automation rules that fire before or after the date and time of a specific field, such as automatically sending a notification email 5 minutes after a job has been created, or 2 hours before it is due.

Shared by Loc8 • July 12, 2023

Upload and display avatars for everyone in your workforce as a simple yet powerful way to quickly identify assignees at a glance. If you use contractors as a part of your workforce, using their logo as their avatar is also great way to differentiate them from internal technicians.

Technicians can add their own avatars from the Loc8 mobile app (make sure to update to the newest version), and Users can add avatars for themselves and others from the workforce area.
