Utilizing the Dubsado Project Status

The Dubsado Project Status is a feature that allows you to keep all of your client projects organized. When you click “Projects” on the left hand side of your Dubsado dashboard, you will see a screen that probably looks similar to this:

The Dubsado Project Status is a feature that allows you to keep all of your client projects organized either by phase or by project type.

The boxes that are shown across the top of the screen are the Project Statuses and they are simply a way to visually organize your Leads and Jobs.

There are a few basic ways to set these up:

  1. Chronologically – Each box (project status) represents a different phase or stage or step in your process. This helps you see how many people are in each position in your sales or project pipeline.
  2. Categorically – Each box (project status) represents a different type of client or project. This helps you see how many of each project type you have.
  3. Combined – You can also combine these methods. Sometimes, I will set up chronological project statuses for Leads and categorical project statuses for Jobs (or vice versa).

As with most things, there’s no “right” or “wrong” way to set this up. It all depends on you, your business, and what makes the most sense.

In addition, your “Leads” and “Jobs” can be set up differently. In the example above, I have my “Leads” organized chronologically according to what stage of my sales process they’re in. Once they sign a contract with me and their project transfers from “Lead” to “Job,” everyone falls into a specific category box according to the service they purchased.

Finally, notice that each of my project statuses ends with an emoji. This is just a way to incorporate a little bit of fun into my daily view! I also add emojis to my canned email and workflow templates so it’s easier to tell which pieces of content go together.
