Why can't I dispatch a techician?

Ineligible Users for Jobs 

Check all items below

1. Look at job info in the job “Primary Job Type”, “Department”, “Job Type(s)”, and “Required Tech Skills”
2. User: “Roles” if “Department” was “Service” then role must have “Do Service Calls”
3. User: if “Required Tech Skills” had a skill set selected then the user must have the skill set under their “Skills”
4. Go to Admin, Manage Drop Downs, Primary Job Types… look at the “roles” for each and make sure a “Role” such as “Do Service Calls” is on the “Primary Job Type”… you can add more that one “Role” to each “Primary Job Type”
5. Click ‘”Reports”, Click “Daily Management”, Click “Settings” in the top right of the screen, Click on the “Category” (HVAC, Plumbing, Radon, Etc.), Click “Tech Levels”, Click “Edit”, and make sure that all users are listed as a user in one of the Levels drop down and are selected… You will need to do this for each category your company has (HVAC, Plumbing, Radon, Etc.) When done click “Apply Settings” on the left of the screen.

Couple Options. 

Click "Clients", Click on the edit button "The Pencil", Click "View Calls" (you may need to clear your filters or search bar to see all calls for this client) From here you can scroll through the calls.
Or
Click "My Calls", Search for existing call by client name or call number and click on the call number or “+Add New Call” if they are calling in. Then under “Client Details” it will show (Address, Units, History)... If you do not see this, then click the triangle so it is pointing down. Then Click "History".

2. You duplicated an item when creating it and it has the same Item ID as another.

3. Can Add without parent is set to "N" no
