# Schedule Change Reasons

## What are schedule changes?

Making schedule changes is an easy way to keep job statuses updated. Jobs will show a "Pending" status until a schedule change is made or the week is closed, after which the status switches to "Closed."

Several reports track or filter based on the status of a job to help you get accurate data on what's happening day-to-day and long-term in your business.

## How can I add reasons for schedule changes?

When making a schedule change on a job, there's a drop-down menu for the Reason. A few reasons for the schedule change you're making are already included.
