How to print a job card

This article explains how to print a job card for a single vehicle or bulk print all job cards for a specific day in Workshop Software. If you are running a paperless workshop using a tablet, you do not need to print job cards — the mechanic can view them on-screen.

Step 1: Print a Single Job Card

  1. Click on Transaction Centre.

Transaction Centre option in Workshop Software left navigation menu

  1. Click on the customer details for an existing job, then press the Pencil icon to open the invoice.

  1. Add any information or notes you want the mechanic to see in the Job Card Notes section at the bottom right-hand corner of the page. Notes entered here will only appear on a job card — they will not print on an invoice.

  1. Once you have saved any job notes, click on the pop-out icon next to the Star icon on the right-hand side and select Print Job Card from the drop-down menu.

  1. The job card will open in a new tab for you to view and print. The mechanic can add notes by hand, which can then be entered into Workshop Software later.

Please note: Gold subscription users using the mobile app can have mechanics add or change job card notes directly via the app, which will automatically sync to Workshop Software.
