Learn how to effectively manage your photography jobs to grow your business.

Updated over 2 months ago

Managing your jobs in Picsello is simple and helps keep your workflow organized and efficient. Here’s how you can keep track of your jobs and update their statuses:

Job Status Overview

Active Jobs

A job will remain active until you manually mark it as complete or archive the job.

Completing Jobs

When you mark a job complete, it means you’ve finished the shoot and delivered the gallery to your client. Please note: Marking a job as complete does not restrict your client’s access to their images. They can still view their gallery and order prints.

Archiving Jobs

Archiving a job will remove client access to the gallery. This option is perfect for when you want to prevent further image viewing or orders. If you prefer to allow access for a limited time, you can adjust the expiration date for the gallery directly in the app.

Sorting and Filtering Job

To keep your job page organized, navigate to the Jobs section of the app. You can sort and filter your jobs by:

Active: Jobs you’re currently working on or have not yet marked as complete.

Completed: Jobs where the shoot and gallery delivery are done, but clients still have gallery access.

Overdue: Jobs where the payment is overdue.

Archived: Jobs where the client no longer has access to the gallery.

You also can filter jobs by job type, shoot date too.

If sometimes you just quickly need to pull up a client's job, head to the search bar and type in your clients name!

By staying on top of managing your jobs and updating their statuses, you ensure that your job page reflects the most relevant and up-to-date information, making it easier to focus on your current tasks!
