# Creating a new job
> A four-step wizard covering client, property, insurance and claim details, and the team assigned to the work.
Select **New Job** and work through the four-step wizard:
1. **Client** — Residential or Commercial property (Commercial requires a company name, up to 100 characters). Enter the client's first and last name, or link an existing contact/company, plus at least one of email or phone (both are fine too).
2. **Job details & property** — job type (required), plus optional TPA, referring party, and your customer's own job/work order number. The property address needs a street address, city, a 2-letter state abbreviation, and a ZIP code (5-digit or ZIP+4); insurance carrier, policy number, claim number, and year built are all optional.
3. **Damage** — the primary damage type is required (your admin's configured list — see [Job codes and preferred job codes](/articles/job-codes-and-preferred-job-codes)); a secondary damage type, affected rooms, and a free-text description are optional. The date of loss is required; start date, first-visited date, and end date are optional, though an end date must fall after the start date.
4. **Team** — assign a Project Lead (required), and optionally a Lead Technician and Administrator.
Select **Create Job** to finish. The job gets a unique job code and appears immediately in your Jobs list for every team member with access.
The wizard doesn't save a draft as you go — if you navigate away before selecting **Create Job**, you'll need to start over. Plan to complete it in one sitting. On mobile, if a spotty connection makes you tap Create Job more than once, TrueRestore recognizes the repeat and won't create a second job.
New jobs can't be created while your company's subscription payment is past due. See [If a payment fails](/articles/if-a-payment-fails).
