What Happens After a Job is Booked?
Once a booking request comes in, our team gets working on it immediately. The Steno Jobs tab has five sections that correspond to the steps in the process.
1. Booking Received
This is where the Jobs you have recently requested live. Services requested for each job are shown as tags to the right.
2. Scheduled
Once the job has been processed and scheduled, the booking request will move to the Scheduled section, and you will receive an email letting you know the job has been scheduled.
Clicking on a scheduled job will allow you to view its details and access the link to join remotely or for in-person location information.
3. In Progress
After the Scheduled Job has occurred, the Job enters Production, and the Job moves to the In Progress section.
Clicking on an in-Progress job will allow you to access any Job Files as soon as they become available.
4. Completed
Once all materials for a job have been turned in, the Booking Request moves to the Completed section.
Clicking on a Completed job will give you access to all job files.

Booking Requests that have been canceled or put on hold will move into the Past Removed Jobs Section.
