Add someone who isn't in Jobber

Add a name and a mobile number on Crew; they ask and get approved the same way, but their time off isn't put on a Jobber schedule.

Use this for someone who isn't on your Jobber team, or for every person if you don't use Jobber.

Add them

  1. Open Crew and scroll to Add someone by hand.
  2. Type their Name and Mobile number, with the area code.
  3. Check Can approve if they approve time off.
  4. Tap Add, then Send invite to and their name.

Each number can belong to one person on your crew.

What's different

  • Their time off isn't put on a Jobber schedule, because Jobber doesn't know them.
  • Sync the team leaves them alone.
  • You change their number on Crew: type it under their name and tap Save number.

Everything else is the same: they ask, an approver approves from a link, and their balance counts down.

Someone who joins Jobber later

Once they're on your Jobber team, Sync the team brings them in as a new person, from Jobber. Two people can't share a number, so remove the number from the hand-added one first (clear it and tap Save number), then sync. Their past requests stay with the hand-added one, so check the new one's days on Crew and send them their invite, then switch the hand-added one off. See When someone leaves the crew.
