Overview
Notes help you document important information about your customers, their properties, and services. You can add text notes with a rich text editor and attach photos or documents. Notes are different from service entries, which capture structured data about completed work. Use notes for general information and documentation, and service entries for specific service details.Looking to track chemical readings, materials used, or service observations? See Service entries for structured service documentation.

Completion notes vs. service entries
When completing an appointment, you have two ways to document work: Completion notes - Free-form text summary of what was done. Use for general descriptions and overview. Service entries - Structured data like chemical readings, materials used, and observations. Use for specific, searchable details. See Completing appointments and Service entries for details.Best practices

- Access instructions: Include in property notes (e.g., “Enter through side gate, gate code 1234”)
- Hazards: Document in property notes (e.g., “Dog in backyard - call first”)
- Service details: Add notes to appointments about what was done
- Customer preferences: Add to customer notes (e.g., “Prefers text messages over calls”)
- Before/after photos: Attach photos to appointment notes to show completed work
- Issues found: Document problems found during service with photos if needed
