# The customer's service report

> The page your customer opens after a visit — what you did, the photos, and a rating

## Overview

Every completed job visit has a page of its own that the customer can open — no login, no account, just the link you [sent them](/routes/sending-service-reports). It's headed **Your service today** and it's deliberately short: what you did, the photos, anything your checklists recorded, a place to rate you, and the bill if one rode along.

<Note>
  The link never expires, so a customer can go back to it whenever they like — and from the page they can reach the rest of their [portal](/customers/customer-portal).
</Note>

## What's on the page

Top to bottom:

1. **Your business name**, then **Your service today**, then the property address and the date of the visit
2. **A summary** of the work, in plain language — this is the **Customer notes** you wrote when completing the visit. A visit you finished without writing any simply has no summary block
3. **What we recorded** — the checklist answers you marked for the customer summary, grouped under the checklist they came from (chemical readings, completed tasks, a signature shown as *Signed by customer*)
4. **Photos** — the **After** photos, and the **Before** photos above them if you [included them when sending](/routes/sending-service-reports#whats-on-the-send-step). Each group has its own heading and its own grid; every photo appears once
5. **How did we do?** — the rating
6. **This month's invoice** or **Outstanding balance** — only when you sent the bill with the report

Tapping any photo opens the full-size original in a new tab.

## Rating the visit

The **How did we do?** card sits near the bottom: five stars, an optional comment box (*Anything you'd like to tell \[your business]? (optional)*), and a **Submit** button. The sub-line names the visit — *For your visit on Fri, Aug 28* — so a customer with several reports open always knows which one they're rating.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/lawnstarter/KKulloQ4jDEYpOJY/images/probase/report-rating/unsubmitted.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=KKulloQ4jDEYpOJY&q=85&s=fcc329e56dd17141f000341797c02703" alt="The rating card before it's submitted" width="430" height="845" data-path="images/probase/report-rating/unsubmitted.png" />

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/lawnstarter/uokvybY5h04reM_X/images/probase/visit-report/submit-02-picked-with-comment.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=uokvybY5h04reM_X&q=85&s=dd8822ddf23470d2422742943226a916" alt="Choosing stars and writing a comment" width="430" height="845" data-path="images/probase/visit-report/submit-02-picked-with-comment.png" />

Nothing is saved until the customer taps **Submit**. Stars are required; the comment isn't.

### A rating is submitted once, then locked

Once submitted, the card changes for good: filled stars, the comment as plain text, and *Thanks for your rating!* underneath. There's no form any more — reloading the page, or opening the link again next week, shows the same locked card.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/lawnstarter/KKulloQ4jDEYpOJY/images/probase/report-rating/submitted-locked.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=KKulloQ4jDEYpOJY&q=85&s=79d4979210e4a1eee5b50b1722adfac4" alt="The rating locked after submitting" width="430" height="845" data-path="images/probase/report-rating/submitted-locked.png" />

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/lawnstarter/uokvybY5h04reM_X/images/probase/visit-report/submit-04-reloaded-locked.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=uokvybY5h04reM_X&q=85&s=1c657cae4a171c4cf03abff6bf35817c" alt="The locked card after a reload" width="430" height="845" data-path="images/probase/visit-report/submit-04-reloaded-locked.png" />

This is true however the rating was left. A customer who rated the service on an [invoice review screen](/billing/service-ratings) finds the report's card already filled in and locked.

What you see on your side: a **rating card** on the visit, and an [update](/getting-started/updates#customer-ratings) in your feed carrying the stars and the customer's words.

## Paying from the report

If you turned the invoice switch on when sending, the report ends with a bill card:

* **This month's invoice** — *4 visits · August*, the amount, and a solid **Pay \$\[amount]** button opening their invoice page
* **Outstanding balance** — *July invoice · unpaid*, the amount, and the same button

A line underneath records the send: *Sent with this report on Fri, Aug 28. Marked as sent on the invoice.*

Once there's nothing left to pay, the button steps back to an outline **View invoice** — a customer who already paid is never asked again.

<Note>
  Paying from a report they've already rated skips the **"How was your service?"** screen: they've rated once, so they go straight to the tip question (or straight to paying). See [Service ratings](/billing/service-ratings).
</Note>

## Finding old reports

The customer doesn't have to keep the text. Their [portal home](/customers/customer-portal#your-visits) carries a **Your visits** section listing their visits by service — **Upcoming** above **Past** — and every past visit whose report you sent opens straight back to this page.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/lawnstarter/noLEUUE1NgVLxXPj/images/probase/customer-portal/home-visits-01-430.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=noLEUUE1NgVLxXPj&q=85&s=62a38a764e8c97ea9b3de91e763b839f" alt="Your visits on the portal home" width="430" height="845" data-path="images/probase/customer-portal/home-visits-01-430.png" />

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/lawnstarter/KKulloQ4jDEYpOJY/images/probase/report-visit-row/rated-and-unrated.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=KKulloQ4jDEYpOJY&q=85&s=f6c1ee73929a0ae9261d5493afa51004" alt="A reported and an unreported visit row" width="430" height="845" data-path="images/probase/report-visit-row/rated-and-unrated.png" />

A row only opens when there's a report to open. Upcoming visits, and completed visits whose report you haven't sent, are listed but aren't tappable — nothing of a report shows before you've chosen to send it.

## Getting back and getting in touch

Every page under the customer's portal link carries the same header: your business name, a back chevron to their portal home (on every page but the home itself), and a **Contact us** button.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/lawnstarter/t-Ulz7xayiN1Amyt/images/probase/portal-shell/02-home-no-back-430.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=t-Ulz7xayiN1Amyt&q=85&s=45d62e245739e32ab6305a3d3c88e6ee" alt="The portal home, with no back chevron" width="430" height="845" data-path="images/probase/portal-shell/02-home-no-back-430.png" />

**Contact us** opens a sheet with **Call**, **Text message** and **Email** rows built from your business phone and email in [Business Profile settings](/getting-started/settings). A row you haven't filled in is left out, and with neither filled in the button doesn't appear at all.

<Note>
  The header is hidden when the customer prints — see [Printing invoices](/billing/printing-invoices).
</Note>

## What the report never shows

The report is the customer's view, not yours. It never carries:

* Your private **visit notes** — only the **Customer notes** you wrote for them
* Your timer, the working windows, or how long the visit took
* Costs, margins, or your crew's names
* Checklist answers you didn't mark for the customer summary

## Next steps

* [Sending the service report](/routes/sending-service-reports) — your side of the same flow
* [Customer payment portal](/customers/customer-portal) — invoices, payment and the rest of the portal
* [Completing a visit](/routes/completing-jobs) — where the summary and photos come from
* [Building checklists](/checklists/building-checklists#showing-answers-on-the-customer-invoice) — choosing what lands under *What we recorded*
