1. Click the Work tab.
2. Select Quotes or Jobs.
3. Select Scheduled or Not Scheduled and select the date range.
4. Under Due Date, select the date range.
5. Narrow down your search by using the filters:
   • Customer
   • Site
   • Created Date
   • Cost Centres
   • Status
   • Technician

Load sites

These sites remain on the map even when Simtrac is not connected to Simpro Premium.

Incorrect addresses

If there is a line through a site name in the results list, this means the specific address cannot be located on the map. This may be because the wrong address has been entered into Simpro Premium and then imported into Simtrac.

Hover over the site name to locate any close matches. You can select another address to pin the job in the correct place.

To edit the site address, go to Settings > Manage Geofences and Sites and click the edit icon.

If you have integrated Simtrac with Simpro Premium, you can link your Simpro Premium sites to your Simtrac sites and have them update automatically instead of importing or editing them manually.

3. Under Tracking Extensions > Simtrac, select On.
4. Click Connect to Simtrac.
5. Enter your Simtrac username and password.
6. Select a Default Radius for all the sites you create in Simpro Premium.
   • Click Update List to update the radius of sites sent from Simpro Premium to Simtrac.

• created when creating a customer. Learn more in Create a customer.
• created from an initial import from the accounting link
