Overview

When work is finished, mark the appointment as complete. The completion form lets you document visit notes, customer-facing notes, photos, and service records all on one screen. For recurring services, a final scheduling step appears after you confirm completion. For Jobs: Document completion notes, photos, and service records, then optionally schedule the next appointment. For per-service billing, completing an appointment automatically creates a charge on the customer’s account. For Assessments: Document your assessment findings and create a quote with pricing and service details based on what you observed.

Tap Complete Visit

Tap Complete Visit at the bottom of the form.For most recurring services, the next visit is already on the calendar as part of the pre-scheduled chain.

Your work is saved as you go

If you have to step away mid-completion — to pull supplies, take a call, or jump to another screen — Probase saves your in-progress work automatically. When you reopen the completion form for the same appointment, everything you’d already entered is still there:
  • Visit notes and Customer Notes are autosaved when you tap out of the field
  • Service records (chemical readings, chemical adjustments, observations) are saved each time you tap Done on a category screen
  • Photos uploaded to the form persist even if you close and reopen it
Completion form with autosaved notes and an observation entry Reopened completion form — all previous work restored This means it’s safe to leave the completion form at any point. Pick it back up later from the appointment detail page (or by navigating back to the calendar) and everything you entered will be exactly where you left it. Drafts are kept until you tap Complete Visit or cancel the completion entirely. Photo uploaded mid-completion Same photo still attached after reopening the form

What happens when you complete

When you mark an appointment complete:
  1. The appointment status changes to Completed
  2. Your completion notes and service records are saved
  3. For per-service billing: A charge is automatically added to the customer’s account for the base service price, plus separate charges for any service items you added
  4. For recurring services: The next visit is already on the calendar as part of the pre-scheduled chain (or, if none is booked, you can schedule it from the completion form). Recurring service items carry forward to upcoming visits automatically
  5. The completed appointment appears in the appointment history
  6. A Send Invoice button appears on the appointment detail — tap it to preview and send the invoice to the customer

AI-powered note parsing

When completing a job, you can use AI to automatically extract structured service records and draft customer-facing notes from your visit notes:
  1. Write your notes naturally in the Visit Notes field
  2. Click the AI Assist button (✦)
  3. The AI extracts service records and populates the category buttons (Observations, Chemical Readings, Chemical Adjustments), and drafts a Customer Notes summary from your notes
  4. Review and edit any parsed entries — tap a category button to open its screen, where you can edit values or remove entries
  5. Tap Complete Visit when ready
Example note that parses well:
“pH was 7.2, chlorine at 3 ppm. Added 2 lbs shock. Pool looked clear, no algae.”
This creates:
  • Chemical Reading: pH = 7.2
  • Chemical Reading: Chlorine = 3 ppm
  • Chemical Application: Shock = 2 lbs
  • Observation: “Pool looked clear, no algae”
The AI is smart about extracting different entry types from natural language, saving you time on data entry.
Materials and parts used on the visit aren’t captured here — add those as invoice line items on the appointment or service instead, so they appear on the invoice the customer receives. See Adding service items.
On accounts with AI assistance, if the job has checklists, ProBase can run this analysis for you automatically the moment you finish the checklist and continue to the completion form — you’ll see a full-screen “Analyzing your visit…” indicator while it drafts your service records and summary. See Automatic drafting when you finish a checklist.
If AI Assist can’t run right now. AI drafting is a convenience, never a requirement. If the AI is busy or takes too long to respond, you’ll see a brief message — “AI assist is unavailable right now. You can still add records and notes manually.” — and nothing you’ve entered is lost. Just add your service records and notes by hand and complete the visit as usual. You can also tap AI Assist again to retry.

AI-assisted assessment quotes

When completing an assessment, AI Assist generates a full draft quote — not just service records — directly from your notes:
  1. Type your assessment findings in the Assessment notes field
Assessment notes entered, ready for AI Assist
  1. Click the AI Assist button (✦)
  2. The AI reads your notes and suggests quote line items with names and pricing based on what you described
  3. A suggested Name for the quote and a customer-facing Quote summary are filled in automatically
  4. Review the suggestions, adjust the name, pricing, or summary, and add or remove items as needed
AI-suggested line items with badges ready for review
  1. Click Complete & Draft Quote
Draft quote created from assessment AI-suggested items are marked with an “AI suggestion” badge so you can easily spot what was auto-generated versus what you’ve added manually. You can also add photos before running AI Assist — photos are included in the AI’s analysis.
As with jobs, if the assessment has checklists, ProBase can draft these quote line items automatically as soon as you finish the checklist and continue — a full-screen “Analyzing your visit…” indicator appears while it works. See Automatic drafting when you finish a checklist.

Automatic billing

For services with per-service billing, completing an appointment automatically:
  • Creates a billing line item (charge) on the customer’s account
  • Uses the service’s unit price as the charge amount
  • Applies tax based on the service’s tax rate
  • Shows the charge in the customer’s billing history
For services with subscription billing, completing an appointment does not create a charge for the base service — subscription charges are created automatically by Probase on each configured billing date. Any additional service items added to the visit are still charged when the appointment is completed. See How billing works for more details.

Viewing completed appointments

Completed appointments appear in:
  • The calendar with a “Completed” status badge (green)
  • The service’s appointment history section
  • The customer’s activity timeline
Click on any completed appointment to open its detail page where you can see:
  • Completion notes
  • Service records (observations, chemical readings, materials used, etc.)
  • The after photos you attached during completion
  • Completion date and time
  • The crew assigned to the appointment
Completed appointment view Service records help you track detailed information about each visit, making it easy to review service history and maintain consistency across appointments.

After photos

If you attached photos while completing the job, they appear in a Photos section on the completed appointment’s detail page. Tap any thumbnail to open the full-size image in a new tab. The section only shows when the visit has photos, so appointments completed without any stay clean. After photos on the completed appointment detail page

Completing appointments on cancelled services

If a cancelled service still has any scheduled appointments that need to be completed, you can still mark them as done:
  1. Open the scheduled appointment from the calendar or service details page
  2. Click the Complete Visit button
  3. The completion form works the same as for active services
  4. Important: The “Schedule Next Visit” step is automatically skipped for cancelled services
  5. For per-service billing, charges are still created when completing appointments
