How To: Share a Job from JobNimbus

JobNimbus provides a really simple way to share a job with a partner, customer, or any other related contact, and can even serve as a customer portal.

Sharing a job with a customer allows them to check on the status of the job, see specific notes and attachments you want to share with them, and you can even assign them tasks.

The best part is the person(s) you share with don’t even have to be JobNimbus users. It’s really pretty cool and can be very useful for a number of situations.

Sharing a Job from JobNimbus

Jobs can only be shared with related contacts to the job and can only be shared with contacts that have an email address.

To share a job, click on the ••• action menu to bring up the list of menu options for a Job or Contact. Choose the Share option to share this job.

Share Settings

Clicking on the Share menu option opens the share settings window where you can set options for how this job will be shared.

Email Sent

Each selected contact will receive an email from you. This email will contain a secure link to the job share.
