Your best work, bottled and ready to reuse
Every field service company has jobs they run over and over — quarterly HVAC maintenance, fire alarm inspections, new-install checklists. Templates turn those repeatable processes into one-click starting points.
Cut Setup Time by 90%
Stop filling in the same fields for the same type of job. Pick a template, adjust what's different, and you're done — the rest is already there.
Consistent Every Time
New techs follow the same checklist as your veterans. No steps skipped, no materials forgotten, no budget surprises — just the same quality, every job.
Scale Without Growing Pains
Add new service types by creating a template. Train new dispatchers in minutes instead of days. Your processes grow with your team, not against it.
Two ways to build a template
Start from scratch when you're designing a brand-new process. Or save any existing work order as a template — all the details carry over, ready for reuse.
-
Build from scratch
Name it, add checklist items, assign materials, set budget defaults, and organize by category — all before anyone touches a real job.
-
Save from an existing work order
Finished a great job? One click saves it as a reusable template — checklists, materials, sub-jobs, and all.
-
Organize by category
Group templates by type — maintenance, installation, repair, inspection — so your team finds the right one instantly.
Quarterly HVAC Maintenance
Maintenance · 12 checklist items

Checklists, materials, and budgets — locked in from the start
Every template carries the exact details your team needs. No guessing what parts to bring, no forgetting steps, no surprise cost overruns.
Pre-Defined Task Lists
Build a standard checklist for each template. Techs see exactly what needs doing — in the right order — before they leave the truck.
Standard Materials & Parts
Pre-load each template with the parts and quantities your team needs. No more "I forgot the filter" return trips that burn time and fuel.
Budget Defaults
Set baseline estimates for labor, materials, and other costs. New work orders start with realistic numbers so your margin projections are accurate from day one.
Work orders auto-generated from templates on schedule
Set the schedule, forget the paperwork
Pair any template with a recurring schedule — daily, weekly, monthly, or custom intervals. FSM Navigator auto-generates the work order every cycle with all the details already filled in.
- Checklists, materials, and budgets carry over automatically
- Pre-assign skill requirements so the right tech gets the job
- Customize any generated work order after creation — templates are starting points, not handcuffs
Multi-step templates with built-in dependencies
Some jobs have five steps. Some have twenty. Templates handle both — break complex work orders into sub-jobs with dependencies so every phase happens in the right sequence.
Define sub-jobs in the template
Break the work order into logical phases — each with its own checklist, materials, and skill requirements.
Set the sequence
Link sub-jobs with dependencies. Step 2 only unlocks when Step 1 is complete — no manual follow-up needed.
Deploy with one click
Generate a full work order from the template. All sub-jobs and dependencies are ready — just assign it and go.

Templates connect to the rest of your workflow
Templates don't live in a silo. Materials pull from your inventory, assignments respect your scheduling rules, and techs see everything on mobile.
Inventory
Template materials link to real stock levels. Know if you have what you need before the job starts.
Scheduling
Recurring templates feed directly into your schedule. Work orders appear on the calendar without manual entry.
Mobile App
Techs see template checklists and reference docs on their phone. Complete items on-site, even offline.
Reference Docs
Attach manuals, wiring diagrams, or safety procedures to any template. The right docs follow the right job.
Common questions about work order templates
Which plan includes work order templates?
Work order templates are part of the Enterprise plan — $59.99 per user per month, or $47.99 per user per month when billed annually. Every Enterprise subscription includes a 14-day free trial so you can test everything before you commit.
Can I create templates from existing work orders?
Yes. Open any work order and save it as a template with one click. All checklists, materials, budget estimates, and sub-jobs carry over — ready for reuse on the next job of the same type.
Do templates include materials and budget estimates?
Yes. Each template stores pre-set materials with quantities, plus budget defaults for labor, materials, and other costs. When you create a new work order from a template, those values are filled in automatically — adjust what's different and move on.
Can templates have sub-jobs with dependencies?
Absolutely. Build multi-step templates where sub-jobs are sequenced with dependencies. When you generate a work order from the template, all sub-job links carry over — step two only starts after step one is done, with no manual coordination required.
How do recurring work orders use templates?
Pick a template, set a schedule (daily, weekly, monthly, or a custom interval), and the system auto-generates a new work order every cycle. Each generated work order inherits the template's checklists, materials, and assignments — zero manual setup needed.
Can different teams have different templates?
Yes. Organize templates into categories — maintenance, installation, repair, inspection, or any custom type you need. Each team sees the templates relevant to their service area, keeping the list clean and easy to navigate.
Stop rebuilding the same work order. Start using templates.
