Branches allow you to structure your company's operations into managable segements for heightened visibility, improved control, and flexibility.
MobiWork makes it easy to streamline your operations by centralizing branch management, helping you stay organized while maintaining efficiency across your entire organization. Each individual branch can have its personal logo, address, email address, and more.
The Branches feature page displays your company's branches, as well as, the ability to add, edit, and manage your existing branches.
Before you can add branches to your MobiWork account, this feature needs to be activated. To enable it, simply submit a support ticket, and our team will activate it for you. Once the feature is enabled, you will be able to create and manage branches directly within your account.
Note: Please note that branches are only available for Premier accounts.
You can access the Branches feature page by hovering over the Users feature from your MobiWork menu; from the drop-down that appears click on the "View Branches" option:

The "List" tab is the default tab you will be brought to once you access the View Branches feature.

MobiWork is committed to simplifying data management for your business, by offering a range of search options to streamline your workflow. From the free-text search, which allows you to enter specific search queries directly, to the ability to create your own saved searches for your everyday use, MobiWork has you covered. Furthermore, you can use the predefined saved searches that MobiWork already provides to locate a specific query or date range (e.g., created today).
These search functions are consistent across all MobiWork features, with the only differences being the predefined search data and the parameters for the new search. The following subsections will outline the various search features that are available to you.
