  1. Tap the large +(plus) icon in the top bar (at the top-right corner of the app).

  2. From the pop-up menu select Job, this will open a Create job screen containing various selection buttons.

  3. Select a job type from the list provided.

Data not saved

When you tap the tick to create a job you get the following notification Data not saved. Why is this happening?

Trying to create a job on the Skedulo v2 mobile app but getting an error.

If you tap Show details (the other option in the menu), you will be able to see the error details.

If the error reads insufficient_access_or_readonly - Object sked_Job_Allocation__c you are not permitted to create jobs using the mobile app. Contact your administrator.

Admins for teams using Salesforce to connect to Skedulo should check the permissions for the Job Allocations object in the Skedulo Resource permission set. By default, this object is read-only for resources. To grant permission to create jobs using the mobile app, first clone the permission set, then enable “Create” for the job allocation object (and save). Once enabled this cloned permission set will need to be added to the appropriate user before they can use the feature.
