Hi Sam! Happy to help — Josh is right, and I wanted to give you the exact steps for Android.

Long-press an empty area on your home screen
Tap Widgets
Scroll to FieldPulse and select Next Job
Choose the size (I recommend the 4x1 for address visibility)

You can also enable rich notifications for lock screen: Settings → Notifications → FieldPulse → Lock screen → Show sensitive content.

One thing to note: the widget pulls from your assigned schedule, so if your dispatcher just added something, give it 30–60 seconds to refresh. It won't show jobs in "Draft" status — only "Scheduled" or "Dispatched."

Let me know if you need help with the notification setup too!

Hey Sam — yeah there's a widget for this. Long-press your home screen, add widget, look for FieldPulse. You can get the next scheduled job to show up without opening the app. Pro tip: The widget refreshes when you have signal but caches the last known job, so if you're driving through dead zones it'll still show something. Just heads up though — sometimes it lags by a few minutes if you just got reassigned. Also on Android you can turn on notification previews in your lock screen settings and set FieldPulse notifications to show the full job address. That's what I use more than the widget tbh.
