Job reports: completion, AI, and voice reports

ZenGrow & ZenAIIntermediate7 minutesUpdated August 8, 2026

Open a job, choose Report from the Actions menu, and click Generate Report to build a completion report from the job's visits, checklists, photos, and financials. On ZenAI, AI writes the work summary for you. Voice reports let technicians dictate findings on mobile, and AI structures the transcript into a clean report on the job or visit.

A job well done deserves proof. WorkZen turns a finished job into a professional report your client can read, and reports come in three flavors that build on each other.

Generate a completion report

Open the job, click the Actions menu, and choose Report. On the report page, click Generate Report. WorkZen assembles the report from what the job already knows: visit history, financial summary, completed checklists, project photos, warranty info, and custom sections.

The report is built from blocks you can shape: Company Information, Client Information, Property Information, Work Summary, Visit History, Financial Summary, Payment Information, Completed Checklists, Project Images, Warranty Information, and Maintenance Recommendations. Drag blocks to reorder, hide any you don't need, and add up to 10 custom sections.

Two blocks deserve special mention:

  • Work Summary is the narrative of what was done. Write it yourself, or see the AI section below.
  • Client Signature: turn on Request client signature and your client sees a sign button when viewing the report. Once signed, the report shows who signed and when.

A job has one report. Regenerate replaces it with a fresh build from the latest job data, and any edits are lost, so WorkZen asks you to confirm.

Let AI write it (ZenAI)

On the ZenAI plan, Generate Report does more: AI reads the job's visits, checklists, and line items and writes the Work Summary for you. Inside the editor, the Generate with AI button rewrites the summary on demand, so you can regenerate after adding a late visit or photo.

Plan availability

AI-written work summaries and AI voice report insights (action items that become reminders) require the ZenAI plan. Completion reports and voice reports themselves are included from ZenGrow.

Voice reports: dictate from the field

Typing on a dusty phone at 5 pm is how details get lost. Voice reports let a technician talk instead: in the iOS or Android app, open the job or visit, record, and the app transcribes as you speak. On the web, click Add Voice Report and type or paste the transcript, then Submit Report.

AI structures the raw transcript into a clean breakdown: Summary, Diagnosis, Work Performed, Parts Used, Recommendations, Time Estimate, and Urgent Issues, plus a read on client sentiment. If AI processing ever fails, the transcript is saved anyway, so nothing dictated is lost.

On ZenAI, AI also extracts Action Items ("order the replacement valve", "call client Tuesday") and turns them into reminders on your scheduler automatically.

Voice reports live on the job or visit they were recorded against. They are internal field notes; the completion report is what the client sees.

Send the report to your client

In the report editor, Save Report keeps a draft, Preview Report shows it as the client will see it, and Save and Send does the real thing: enter one or more email addresses and a message, and each recipient gets a link to view the report online. The report's badge flips from Draft to Sent, and WorkZen tracks when it's viewed.

Reports in the job completion flow

The report is wired into completing a job. The Complete Job flow checks whether the job has a report and offers Go to Report if it doesn't, and the completion email to the client can include the Job Report alongside the invoice. From the report editor itself, Save & Complete Job finishes both in one move.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Open the report page

    On the job, open the Actions menu and choose Report, then click Generate Report. WorkZen builds the report from the job's data.

  2. 2

    Edit the report

    Reorder blocks, hide what you don't need, write or AI-generate the work summary, and add custom sections or a client signature block.

  3. 3

    Send it

    Click Save and Send, enter the recipient emails and a message, and your client receives a link to view (and sign) the report online.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, one report per job. Regenerate deletes the existing report and builds a fresh one from the latest job data, so any edits you made are lost. WorkZen asks you to confirm first.
No. Voice reports are included from ZenGrow. ZenAI adds the insight layer, extracted action items that automatically become reminders on your scheduler.
Yes, but by typing or pasting the transcript (10 to 2000 characters). Live dictation with speech-to-text is in the iOS and Android apps, where techs actually are.
Your transcript is saved either way and can be reviewed on the job or visit. Only the structured breakdown is missing, and you can delete the report and resubmit.
The person who recorded it can always delete their own. Deleting someone else's requires the manage permission for the job or visit it's attached to.
