Reports, documents and exports

Job reports as PDFs, how documents open, sharing links and exporting.

Job reports

Every job has a Reports tab. Each report is a PDF made on the spot from the live data, in the BulkDesk document standard: black on white so it prints clean and reads on site.

Opening a document

A document never opens in a new tab. It opens in one box over the page with its kind, title, file name and size, and Download, Share (the phone's share sheet with the file; on a computer, a link that needs a sign-in) and Open full screen.

Sending

  • Email and SMS: once the company's accounts are connected, add up to 10 recipients and an optional note. Until then the buttons open your own mail or messages app with the text ready.
  • Copy link: a link that opens the PDF without signing in for 30 days, frozen as it was when shared. The list shows how many times each link was opened and lets you switch it off.

Exports

Every export goes through the preview box first: a spreadsheet is shown as a table before Download, and Hours also gives a timesheet PDF. Exported cells that start with = + - @ are made safe for spreadsheets.
