The job ticket is the foundation of Clients & Profits X. It’s an electronic job jacket that manages nearly everything you do, tracking estimates, schedules, costs, time, billings, and profit.  

A job ticket is opened for every project the shop gets, including internal work, client presentations, and pro-bono jobs. Each job ticket is given tasks that describe what’s being produced, such as artwork, copywriting, design, and printing. Job tasks are completely customizable for flexibility. Job tasks serve many purposes, including estimating, scheduling, job costing, and billing. A job always has at least one task, but can have dozens.

Job tickets are always available on any computer in your shop (if you have the access privileges). So it’s easy to review your job’s progress from start to finish. Anything anyone does for your jobs appears in the Job Ticket Window. These production windows let you easily see a job’s estimate, task schedules, traffic milestones, or status. You can also analyze the job’s costs, time sheets, open purchase and insertion orders, and unbilled tasks.



All this makes job tracking much faster than ever before, since there are no more thick job jackets or job binders to sort through. And since everyone in the office works from the same shared database, you’ll instantly see anyone’s changes as they are made -- so you’ll always work (and make decisions) from accurate data.

The Job Ticket window has its own File and Edit menu commands for finding and printing jobs. All menu commands work by selecting the File menu with your mouse, then highlighting the command you wish to use.
