Many jobs require approved permits from government authorities. The permit section provides a convenient way to store and manage your client-specific permits. You can also set permit validation dates, allowing the system to track their status and alert you when a permit is nearing its expiration.
Permit Issuer
Before creating permits, you must first set up permit issuers within the system. By adding permit issuers, you can define custom notification periods, set default costs for obtaining permits from a specific organization or council, and link them to an item classification for invoicing purposes.

Select Permit Issuer tab

Please note, permits are client specific. Meaning that a permit can only be used on bookings for the client that the permit is assigned.
Custom Validity Times:
You can set custom validity times for permits based on the day of the week.
For example, a permit might be valid all day from Monday to Friday, but only between 12pm and 5pm on Saturdays, and from 10am to 2pm on Sundays, etc.
You can define up to two validity time frames per day. For instance, a permit could be valid on Mondays from the start of the day until 6am, and again from 8pm until the end of the day.
