Create and manage variations/change orders in the Onsite app

Written by Dan C

You can now create and manage variations and change orders directly from the Onsite app, giving you the flexibility to handle changes while you're on site without needing to return to the desktop app.

The process is the same as creating variations and change orders in the desktop app, so if you're already familiar with that workflow, you'll find it very straightforward.

Open the job

From the Jobs screen in the Onsite app, open the job you want to work on.

Open the Variations/Changer orders tab

Within the job, navigate to the Variations tab and select Add variation/change order to create a new variation/change order.

Create and edit the variation/change order

Enter the relevant details for the variation, such as:

  • Description

  • Proposed start date

  • Delay days

  • Items included in the variation/change order

You can add and manage the items in exactly the same way as you would when creating a variation/change order in the desktop app.

Accept or share the variation

Once the variation or change order has been created, you can mark it as accepted directly from the Onsite app.

This is useful when you've already discussed the change with the client and have their approval, allowing you to get started with the work straight away.

Alternatively, you can share the variation with your client so they can review and approve it themselves. This is the safer option in the case there is ever a dispute over the variation/change order.

When you share the variation, your client will receive it by email so they can review the details and approve it.
