Updated over 8 months ago

The First Notice of Loss (FNOL) marks the beginning of any restoration job. Lever360 simplifies the process with an intuitive intake form that captures all essential details.

In this guide, we’ll walk through creating a new job, capturing key details, and linking job data to the CRM for seamless tracking.

Note - Any information not collected initially can be added later. It is up to your company to determine what is important or relevant for collection during New Job Intake.

Step 1: Add Job Button - Create New Job

To create a new job:

  • Click the + Add Job button at the top of the Job List page.

  • Or, use the + New Job shortcut from the main menu, available anywhere in the system.


Step 2: Enter Customer and Job Details

  1. Job Type:

    • Select the type of loss (e.g., water, fire) from the dropdown.

      • This will auto set the job number abbreviation

  2. Customer Name and Job Name:

    • Enter the customer’s name (e.g., "John Doe").

    • The job name will auto-fill with the same name but can be edited as needed.

  3. Contact Information:

    • Click + Phone to add a phone number and select the type (e.g., mobile, home).

      • You may add multiple phone numbers. The first one entered will auto set to primary

    • Similarly, add an Email Address and select the preferred contact method.

      • You may add multiple emails. The first one entered will auto set to primary

  4. Job Location:

    • Enter the location by typing in the address fields or use the Google Maps integration to auto-fill the address.

      • Add extra details like apartment numbers or community codes in the additional fields if necessary.


Step 3: Capture Job-Specific Information

  1. Reported Source:

    • Document the cause of the loss (e.g., "Broken pipe, water damage") in the appropriate field.

  2. Loss Description:

    • Add relevant information to provide context for the job, such as:

      • Affected areas (e.g., "Living room, dining area").

      • Customer-reported details (e.g., odors, discoloration, pets).

      • Scheduling availability (e.g., "Available today after 4 p.m.").

      • Any specific concerns or warnings (e.g., “Basement may have structural issues”).

    • This high-level information is used to communicate the job internally and ensure alignment among team members.


Step 4: Assign Team Members

  1. Assign key team members such as a Project Manager, Lead Technician, or Account Representative.

  2. If there is no one to assign at this point, leave these fields blank.

  3. Important Note: Assigning a team member will:

    • Notify the individual of their assignment.

    • Add the job to their My Active Jobs list, ensuring they are aware of their responsibility.


Step 5: Save the Job

  1. Review all entered details to ensure accuracy.

  2. Click Save to create the new job.

  3. The job will now appear in your Job List with all associated details.
