How Maintenance Visits Become Jobs
For admins and office staff · Updated 24 Sep 2026
Every running visit on an active agreement stands on the Service Timetable on the Maintenance page, in due order with overdue visits first.
When the Job Is Raised
Deployr raises a visit's job at about 5am (Brisbane time) on the day the visit comes due:
- A dated visit is due on its date.
- A seasonal visit is due once in each month it runs in.
- An hours or meter visit is due once a covered asset's recorded figure reaches it.
A job raised in the morning says "Raised by the daily maintenance run" in its history. Each visit then shows Job Raised with the job's number and status until the job is done. A dated visit's next date moves on by How Often, and an hours or meter visit's next figure by its interval.
Opening the Maintenance page also raises any visit that has come due since the morning, such as one added or brought forward during the day, and lists the jobs it raised.
Nothing is raised while the business is read-only. A visit that was missed comes up the next morning, and stays due until its job is raised.
Raise a Job Early
- On the timetable, Generate Job beside a visit raises its job now.
- On an agreement's page, Generate Next Job raises the job for its next visit.
Raising a job early moves the visit's next date on, the same as raising it on the day.
What the Job Carries
- It's a Preventative Maintenance job for the agreement's customer and site, titled with the visit's name and the agreement's name.
- A dated visit's job is dated for the day the visit fell due. It carries the visit's technician and labour hours.
- The visit's tasks become the job's checklist, its parts are listed on the job with no price set, and the assets it covers are listed on the job.
- The visit's forms, skills and licences become the job's requirements.
Only active agreements raise jobs. A paused visit, or an agreement that has expired or been cancelled, raises nothing.
A visit dated after the agreement's end date isn't raised, and leaves the timetable, unless the agreement has Renews Automatically on. Renew the agreement to raise it.
