< Service Requests < Adding Scheduling Notes to a Service Request
It may be necessary to record notes about the services you are scheduling. For example, the client's primary pet sitter may be unavailable for some of the requested services, so you need to reach out to back-up sitters to check their availability. It might be helpful to document this communication (or scheduling history) in a notepad associated with the service request.
Scheduling Notes can be added to scheduled service orders, as well as to service requests in an assigned order. By using Scheduling Notes, administrators can record the progress of the approval of the requests. These notes are free format and would typically reflect the history of the scheduling/approval process for that particular type of work.
