The Summary tab provides a snap shot of the Job Details. You can also update the Job State from the Summary tab.

You can click the Open job in XPM icon on the Summary tab (in the top right-hand corner of the Job Details pane in the Summary tab) to open the job in Xero Practice Manager.

You can also enter the details of a Phone Call, File Note or Meeting related to the Job directly from the Job Summary tab. These are entered in the same way as on the Client - Summary. Refer to the section Recording Client Interactions.

Documents and Tasks at the bottom of the Jobs - Summary list the most recent documents and tasks for that job. You can edit these from the Clients - Summary.

Custom Fields

If you have set up Custom Fields for Jobs in your Xero Practice Manager these display on the Job - Custom Fields tab in FYI. You can add one or more Job Custom Fields as columns in the Jobs List and use this to sort and filer the Jobs List.

Note: The function to edit Client and Job Custom Fields in FYI is a Beta function and not yet available for general release. You will only see the Edit button in Client - Custom Fields if you are part of the Beta. See below Editing Client Custom Fields - Beta.

Sync from XPM

You can use the Sync from XPM button at the bottom of the Custom fields to sync the values for the Job Custom fields for the specific Job from Xero Practice Manager to FYI.

Note: This only syncs the values for the Custom Field for that Job. This does not sync any changes to the Custom Field definitions themselves in Xero Practice Manager and these are only synced overnight from Xero Practice Manager to FYI.

Editing Client Custom Fields - Beta

The function to edit Client and Job Custom Fields is currently in Beta release. With this function, all new and changed selections for Client and Job Custom Fields are made in FYI. The Client and Job Custom Fields themselves are maintained in FYI by an FYI administrator who can add, edit or remove Custom Fields (refer to Managing Custom Fields - Beta which is only available to Beta sites). Any changes to the values selected for Custom Fields will sync to Xero Practice Manager immediately. 

This function was introduced due to limits that have been applied by Xero. When using the Beta function to edit Client and Job Custom Fields in FYI, any changes to these made in Xero Practice Manager will not sync to FYI.

When using the Beta function to edit Job Custom Fields in FYI, any changes to these made in Xero Practice Manager will not sync to FYI. If any changes are made accidentally, they can be manually synced for the specific  job using the Sync from XPM button. Refer above to Sync from XPM.

You will only see the Edit buttons if you are an FYI administrator, or a user in a User Group that has Permissions enabled for Edit Custom Fields.

You can edit or select the values for Job Custom Fields in FYI. Any changes will sync to Xero Practice Manager immediately.

1. Click Edit and enter or select the new value.
   You can only enter or select a value according to how the Custom Field has been defined, for example, as Text, a Checkbox, select from a Drop-down, Number, etc.
   
   
2. Click Save to save the change and the Custom Fields redisplay.

Note: If a value has been added to a Custom Field it cannot be blanked out. If needed, you can set it as hyphen (-).
