Configure and view promoted custom field
Overview
It is possible to highlight a custom text or label field and have it shown at the top of the job details view in the Skedulo mobile app. This feature is useful for displaying important information to the service deliverer, such as “Patient is allergic to penicillin.” It is a fixed form of notification, i.e., the red banner displayed in the Skedulo mobile app remains pinned to the top of the job’s details for the duration of the job (or until the admin settings are changed).
