About the Jobs Page
The Jobs page is the first thing you see when you open the app. This is where all of the work that has been assigned to you appears.
Issued and In Progress
Jobs are split into two groups that are shown as tabs at the top of the screen:
Issued – Jobs that have been sent to you but not yet started. These are waiting for you to begin work.
In Progress – Jobs you have already begun recording work against.
Tap either tab or swipe left/right to switch between the two lists. A circle with a number in it is next to each tab that shows how many jobs are in that group.
What Each Job Card Shows
Each job in the list will display:
The name of the job (e.g. "Lime Spreading")
The products involved (shown as small tags beneath the job name)
The date it was issued or the target date it should be completed by. Jobs with target dates are prioritised at the top. Jobs are ordered in such a way that jobs with target dates will be grouped together at the top and sorted by their dates and below them will be a different group with all the jobs without target dates that are also sorted by date.
A plan name above the card if the job belongs to a plan
If a job card has a warning icon saying "Sync failed" it means a change you made could not be saved. See the Sync section for help.
How to Open a Job
Tap anywhere on a job card to open it and see its full details.
How to Refresh Your Job List
Your jobs are loaded automatically when you open the app. If you are online and want to check for any new jobs that have been assigned to you, pull down on the list (like pulling a drawer downwards) and release. The list will refresh. If you have left the app and come back into it and you are online then a refresh will automatically be done for you.
If you are offline, you will see the jobs that were loaded the last time you had an internet connection. You will not be able to refresh until you are back online. If you are back online and the app is open it will automatically refresh for you.
If No Jobs Are Showing
If the list is empty:
Check you are on the correct tab (Issued or In Progress)
If you are online, try pulling down to refresh
Check if you have any Issued or In Progress jobs on the TELUS Crop Management website
Working On a Job
Opening a Job
From the Jobs page, tap a job to open it. The job will have three tabs along the top:
1. Requirements – What needs to be applied and any instructions
2. Fields – The fields included in this job
3. Actuals – The real quantities used (available once you have at least one field with a completed date set)
Requirements Tab
This tab shows the planned details for the job. You cannot edit anything here. It is for reference only.
You may see:
Product Quantities – A list of the products to be applied, with the target rate and total quantity for the job.
Tank Mix – If this is a spraying job, the water volume (in litres per hectare) will be shown here.
Details – The machine, implement, nozzle type and spray quality planned for the job.
Job Information – Any notes or instructions from the agronomist or plan.
Timings – If the job came from a recommendation, this section shows the earliest and latest safe application dates and growth stages.
Fields Tab
This tab lists every field that is part of the job. For each field you will see:
The field name
The crop type and variety
The target area in hectares (ha)
Any applicable notes that have been assigned to the field
A small coloured dot next to a field name indicates that observations have already been saved for that field.
Recording What Happened in a Field
Tap a field name to open the field observations form. This is where you enter the details of the work that was actually carried out.
The form is split into sections:
Details
Actual Area – The area that was actually treated in hectares. This is required before you can save. It will by default be the target area that was created in the draft version of the job.
Operator – Select the person who carried out the work.
Timing
Completed Date – The date the work was done. This is required before you can save. This will default to today's date.
Start Time – When work began. This will default to the current time on a job that hasn't been started yet.
End Time – When the work finished.
Observations
Growth Stage – The crop growth stage at the time of application.
Soil Condition – How the soil was at the time.
Weather – The weather conditions.
Wind Direction – The direction of the wind at the time.
Wind Speed – Wind speed in mph.
Temperature – Air temperature in °C.
Application (only shown for organic manure jobs)
Application method – Specify how the manure is spread onto the field.
Incorporation method – Specify how the manure is worked into the soil after it has been spread.
Incorporation delay – Specify the length of time between the manure being spread and it being worked into the soil.
Saving Field Records
Once you have filled in the Actual Area and Completed Date, the Save button at the bottom will become active. Tap it to save your changes.
If this is the last field in the job, the Save button will change to Complete Job. Tapping this will mark the job as complete.
Tap Cancel at any time to go back without saving changes.
Actuals Tab
The Actuals tab becomes available once you have saved at least one set of field timings. It shows the actual product quantities used across all fields.
You will see:
Field Quantities – How much was applied to each individual field.
Product Quantities – A summary of each product's rate and total quantity used.
Tap on a product or field row (if it has a completed record) to edit the actual quantity used.
Completing a Job
Once you have saved field records for all fields, a Complete Job button appears at the bottom of the screen. Tap this to mark the job as complete and when this is done the job will disappear from the jobs page.
Note: If a job has a sync error, the Complete Job button will be disabled until the error is resolved. See the Sync tab for guidance.
