Syncro allows you to create and manage various types of labor, which you can later associate with Tickets and customer Invoices.
Tip: You can also select a default labor type for specific Users, which would automatically appear whenever that User created a Ticket Timer or added to the Ticket's COMMUNICATION's section. See also User Fields Reference.
To create a new labor type, follow these steps:
- Navigate to the Products & Services tab. If available, a list of existing items appears in the Products table.
- Click +New Item. The New Product page displays, with the Product Details tab selected.
- Complete any required fields.
Be sure to create a descriptive name for the new labor type, so you can recognize it later.
