System Update: Restyled Job Notes

An update to the Notes section on a job in Eaco. Restyled notes. Fixed replies. Restyled workflow stage & selector. Restyled priority & selector (and fixed the icons/colours). Change the user picker to a dual listbox with search, and that now runs off the basic client user so will be fast.

Here’s why it matters:

1. Faster, smoother workflow

• Restyled workflow stage and priority selectors mean people can see exactly where a job stands and how urgent it is at a glance. No more squinting at clunky dropdowns or misreading colours.

• Fixed icons and colours reduce mistakes—if the icon says urgent, it bloody well means urgent.

  
  

2. Communication that actually works

• Restyled notes and replies bring clarity and structure. Instead of a messy wall of text, replies now behave like a conversation. Easier to follow, easier to action, less chance of someone missing an important update.

  
  

3. Speed boost on user selection

• The dual listbox with search is a huge upgrade. Instead of scrolling through endless lists or waiting on slow load times, users can instantly find and add the right people. And since it now runs off the basic client user, it’s lightning fast. That’s less friction, more flow.

  
  

4. Professional polish & client confidence

• The visual upgrades make the system feel sharp and modern. Clients and staff alike get the impression they’re working with a tool that’s leading-edge, not lagging behind. It’s the difference between driving a beat-up ute and a well-tuned Hilux—you just feel better using it.

  
  

5. Reduced training and fewer mistakes

• Cleaner UI = less cognitive load. New staff won’t need as much hand-holding, and existing staff make fewer errors. That pays off in saved time, reduced frustration, and better results for the client.

Bottom line: these aren’t just cosmetic tweaks. They speed up workflows, cut down on errors, and make Eaco look and feel world-class, which in turn boosts adoption and client trust.
