# Today and Work

> The two lists a technician lives in — what is on now, and everything on the handset.

Two views of the same list.

## Today

What is on now: jobs in progress, and jobs due before tonight.

This is the screen to open at the start of a shift. If it is empty, you have nothing due today —
which is different from having nothing at all.

## Work

Everything on the handset, not just today's.

On a bad week these are the same list. On a good one, Work is longer.

## Reading a job row

Each row carries:

* The **number** and what the job is.
* The **asset** and where it is.
* The **status**, in your organisation's own words.
* **When it is due**, or how long it has been running.
* A **warning** where the job is short of something.
* A **sync chip** where you have changed the job and the server has not caught up.

## Both lists work offline

Neither screen fetches anything. They read the handset's own database, so nothing here can fail for
want of a network. What you saw at the gate is what you see in the plant room — the only difference
is the status chips on rows you have touched since.

## Getting more work

New work reaches the handset when it syncs. If you expect a job and cannot see it:

1. Check the **Sync** tab — the app may not have had signal since it was assigned.
2. Check it is actually assigned to you, not just raised.

See [offline and sync](/field/offline-and-sync).
