How MountMonitor fits together - MountMonitor

MountMonitor connects the work in your shop to the client it belongs to. Understanding these records helps you find the right place to make a change.

Start with the client and job

A client is your customer. One client can have several jobs. Each job brings together that client’s mounts and services, job details, files, and billing records. A client can have more than one job, and a job can contain more than one mount or service. The diagram shows the main relationships for one job.

Mounts, services, and parts

A mount has its own instructions and progress stage. A service records other work on the job and can be linked to a mount. A mount can have separate parts. For example, a deer shoulder mount may have a cape and antlers stored in different places. Locations help you track those parts. Printed tags help you identify them.

Three different kinds of status

Information	What it tells you
Mount stage	Where a mount is in your work process
Active or closed job	How the job is organized in your records
Payment status and balance	What has been recorded as paid and what is still owing

These describe different things. The guides for stages, closing jobs, and payments explain how to update each one.

Two meanings of tags

Job tags and client tags are labels for organizing records. Printed tags are physical labels used to identify mounts, parts, locations, or stock.
