From the Jobs View, you can create either a Direct Job or a Contractor Job:

• For Direct Jobs: Tap "New Direct Job" and fill in the job details.
• For Contractor Jobs: First, tap "New Contractor" to add a contractor if they don't exist yet. Then, tap on the contractor and select "Add Job" to create a job for that contractor.

To generate an estimate or invoice:

1. Select the job from the Jobs View
2. Navigate to the Summary View
3. Tap "Generate PDF" to create the document
4. Use the share sheet that appears to email the PDF to your client, save it to Files, or share it through other apps

You can toggle between estimate and invoice modes using the "Convert to Invoice" or "Convert to Estimate" buttons in the Summary View.

TopBid allows you to create backups of all your job data. Go to Settings > Import/Export > Backup Data to save your data. You can restore this data later if needed using the Restore Data option in the same menu.

2. Try restarting the app
3. Send details of the issue to topbid@utahgran.com including what you were doing when the issue occurred
