Each Job is defined by a Status. These are:

New This is the initial Status of the Job when created

Completed All Service Requests have been completed.
Suspended Inherited status, not reached automatically.

A Passive note is simply stored for informational purposes.

An example of a Coordinator note is "all invoices require a Purchase Order Number " or "Please send all Quotes to Fred Flinstone".

A Coordinator Note works via a hierarchy. When a note is added to a Property level, it will appear for this Property only. 

Technician Note

When a Technician Note is added to the Contract, the note will display on the mobile device for the technician to see when they open an RA, SR or the Property details.
