Note prioritisation helps businesses focus fast
You can now assign a priority to your Notes – marking them to show which need to be addressed first – meaning you can focus and get to work on the most pressing tasks first. When work piles up, our first instinct can be to get our heads down and crack on, knocking out tasks as they come through. But not all work is equal, and the more effective business has its priorities in order, working to meet the most-pressing needs first. BigChange understands this and wants to make it easier for all businesses to tackle work in the most efficient way. That’s why we’ve added a new function in JobWatch that allows users to prioritise Notes, making it easier and faster to see the most pressing information and to get going.

Recurring Job Group Templates

Out of Office Function
When your Team is working remotely, it is not so easy to see if a colleague is on holiday or off work for any other reason, sometimes resulting in a co-worker being tagged in a note when they are not there to action it. Now, when a user’s ‘Out Of Office’ message is set, if that user is tagged in a Note, their ‘Out Of Office’ message will appear, warning that they are not available to action the request. This stops the ball from being passed to someone who is not there.

Pre-planned Maintenance
At BigChange we want to help you make the most of those moments by helping you to build pre-planned maintenance (PPM) into your schedule. That means that once you’ve set something up, you won’t have to revisit the same functionality again unless you want to change something. You can even make a bespoke version of your documentation in many areas of our system, helping you to provide excellent and professional results for your customers.

Toolbox Talk
BigChange is pleased to announce the latest version of JobWatch, version 5.13, is now available. This update allows users to view files on a job at the push of a button and automatically log them as having been seen.
JobWatch will automatically log a date and time every time it’s viewed. This information is then added to the Job Card for clients to see.
The new feature can also be customised to load files specific to a job site, instead of the standard policy file.

Automate and Thrive
Imagine if you could do all your repetitive work at the touch of a button. That is what BigChange’s automations offer. One easy automation that comes as part of the standard functionality for all BigChange JobWatch customers, is the automatic creation of Follow-On Jobs. If work isn’t complete on your first visit, there’s no need to create further jobs manually. With automation, job result responses can be used to automatically create a follow-on job, until the desired outcome is reached.

Self allocate jobs
BigChange has released BigChange App v5.12, and it includes new features to improve efficiency by reducing time, travel and costs. Users can now self-allocate jobs which don’t yet have an owner. So workers carrying out a job on-site can access on their mobile a list of other jobs that need to be done at the location. This improvement ensures extra jobs are carried out efficiently on-site without wasting precious time and money with another unnecessary journey.

Floating help button
We’ve introduced a new feature to help you quickly access information on key features in the JobWatch platform. Here at BigChange we invest time in ensuring that there are Help Centre articles – and sometimes videos – to take you step-by-step through how our features work. JobWatch now includes a ‘floating’ Help Button, providing easier access to specifically relevant content. The button has been designed to show content from the help site applicable to the page you are on when you click it, as well as a useful search box. This great new feature makes it easier for you to access the help exactly when you need it!
