Set up your company

Signing up takes a couple of minutes and no credit card. The one choice worth a moment of thought is your trade — it sets your default job types, booking services, starter price book, and starter checklists. It's defaults only: you can change it anytime, and nothing is ever deleted when you do.

1. 1Go to runfieldops.com/signup and create your account.
2. 2Name your company and pick the trade closest to what you do. A combo crew (say, lawns and hardscapes) is covered whichever one it picks — either list includes the shared work.
3. 3Open Settings → Company and fill in your contact info, service area, and operational defaults. Under How your business works, choose I work alone or I manage a team and a default job assignee. These defaults apply when creating jobs from Jobs or Schedule and when converting booking requests; each job can override the assignee.
4. 4Upload your logo and set your brand color in the same page — they appear on the quotes, invoices, and emails your customers see.

The app sidebar groups your available pages into Work, Money, and Manage. Find Jobs, Schedule, Customers, and Bookings under Work; quotes, invoices, payments, and reports under Money; and Settings, Team, Price Book, and Booking Page under Manage. The pages you see depend on your role.

On the dashboard, financial totals appear first, followed by a compact job overview. Recent jobs and the View schedule link help you get back to work; open quotes, open invoices, and the revenue chart sit alongside them on larger screens and below them on phones.

Make the workspace yours in Settings → Appearance. Choose one of five light themes and one of five dark themes; selecting a card previews it immediately. The sun or moon button beside notifications switches between your selected pair on desktop or mobile. Choices are remembered in this browser, not synced across devices. Light mode is the default; public pages and printed documents keep their existing appearance. In the Expo phone app, open Settings → Appearance & feedback to control haptics and completion sounds separately. Sounds start off. These preferences are saved on that device; visual confirmations remain available with both turned off.

Next: add your first customer, or bring your whole list over with the import wizard.
