What is a Workflow Template?

Your workflow templates are what you use to track production on your jobs. Simply put, your workflow is the outline of everything that needs to be done to produce a job.

Workflow templates allow you to track every step of a job, schedule your employees and machines, and ensure you deliver on time.

Workflow templates help you reduce mistakes by following the same repeatable process for similar jobs.

You should set up workflow templates for the different production processes in your shop.

What is a Product?

Products are the end items that you sell to your customer.

Note: For everyone coming from Quickbooks – products are similar to "Items."
