The entry shows in your logbook in the month you gave. The more detail you add, the more useful it'll be when you need it later.

Keep the paperwork with it

To keep an invoice, receipt or warranty with the entry, open Documents and choose Upload. Take a photo or choose a file, then under File it with, pick the job from Past jobs.

Where to start with older work

The jobs that matter most later are hot water, roofing, electrical, plumbing and waterproofing, so those are a great place to begin. Add anything with a warranty that's still running, too. Don't worry if you can't remember the exact date: your best guess is fine.

Anyone in your household can log past work for the home.

Each home keeps its own record

Logbook entries, documents, tasks and household members all belong to one home. Before you log work or upload a document, check the right home is open: its name shows at the top of the Logbook.

Your SureQuote jobs stay with the home they were for.

Sharing and downloads, home by home

You choose who to invite to each home. Your partner might share your own home while your investment property stays just with you. Download each home's record from that home's Documents or Logbook.

Rental properties

A rental's logbook is a handy place for its jobs, invoices and certificates. For tax time, keep your records in whatever form your accountant asks for. Only invite people who should see every document for that property.
