Creating public jobs

Okappy’s unique connected workforce management platform means you can connect to your subcontractors and employees, assign jobs to them and see the job’s status as it’s updated by your engineers out in the field.

But what happens if you’re not sure who to assign the job to, or if you want your employees or subcontractors to be able to pick and accept the jobs themselves.  This is now possible with Okappy.  Read on to find out how.

Creating your job

Simply create your job from within your web dashboard by clicking the New job button at the top of the screen.

Fill out the details.

Then select Public when assigning the job.
