Service widgets and job splitting

✨ New features

Standalone service widget

• Service widgets can be created to enable bookings for specific services via external websites directly into the GMS.
  • Setup: Config → Additional config pages → Manage service widgets.
• Widgets operate independently and can be customised with various settings such as:
  • Service information (name, description, icon, price)
  • Display settings (primary colour, single/multi-column display)
  • A linked job sheet template/line items (automatically applied to incoming jobs for easier invoicing)
  • Job time estimates and lead time in days
  • Bay limitations (e.g. limiting a service to specific bays only)
  • Customer notification settings (automated SMS confirmations)
• A button is available on the service widgets page (“Add this to my website”) with setup instructions for external sites.

Job sheets / calendar

• Job sheets can now be split into multiple linked jobs (e.g. separate TPMS check and oil change).
  • Split jobs via calendar view or the job sheet edit page → "Split job sheet".
  • Linked jobs are marked across the calendar/task board and are visible from any related job.
  • Generating an invoice from a split job sheet includes line items from all linked jobs. Linked jobs are made read-only afterward.
• Job sheets with a "hidden from calendar" status (e.g. cancelled) are now also hidden from the daily report.
• When creating a job sheet:
  • You can now search for existing customers by last name or phone number.
  • Searched vehicles with a single customer will auto-select that customer (can still be changed).
  • Removed unnecessary "job added" confirmation banner after job sheet creation.
• Job sheets with a generated invoice will now display an invoice link in the daily report and job search results.

Vehicles

• Vehicle lookup results now include:
  • Tyre sizes
  • Last V5C issue date (UK only)
• Vehicle lookup during job sheet creation also shows:
  • Engine size
  • Fuel type
• Vehicle detail page updated to reflect new fields and improved layout.
• When linking a vehicle to an existing customer, you can now create/search for a new vehicle directly.

Invoices

• Invoice export functionality added with templates for Quickbooks, Sage, and Xero.
• Locations can now update their tax (e.g. VAT) registration status.
  • If no tax is offered, it is removed from the invoice display.
• Job status is now automatically marked as "invoiced" when an invoice is generated.
• Invoices can optionally display a Google review link.
  • Requires a Google Place ID – contact the Autowork Go support team to set this up.
• Line items now show a “price each” field for better clarity.
• Invoice payments made via the customer edit page now redirect back to that customer’s record.

Miscellaneous

• All list-based pages (e.g. job sheets, customers) now use a standardised layout and include improved sorting and filtering options.
• Live chat service added (top-right corner).
• Dedicated "Contact support" page added with all support options.
• Check-in app display has been refined for print friendliness (A4 recommended).
• Customised shortcut icons now available for tablets and mobile (admin and check-in app).
• Password entry now includes an option to reveal the typed password (login and “My account” pages).
• Menu refinements:
  • Config menu has been consolidated into a single grouped item.
  • Mobile menu now includes a close button.
