Mitchell 1 launches major enhancements to Manager SE’s Job View feature

Service advisors can now create unlimited Sub-Estimates, covering deferred maintenance, recommended services, previously identified repair and more

San Diego—Mitchell 1 has introduced major enhancements to its Job View feature in the latest release of its Manager SE 9.2 shop management software, adding new tools that give service advisors greater flexibility and control when managing revisions.

With the enhanced Revisions feature, shops can now create unlimited Sub-Estimates for a customer’s vehicle, covering items such as deferred maintenance, recommended services and previously identified repairs.

Each Sub-Estimate is organized in its own tab within Job View, simplifying quoting, prioritization and customer approvals. This helps advisors clearly present options and secure faster approvals from vehicle owners.

“We’ve taken Job View to the next level in Manager SE 9.2,” said Tim McDonnell, senior product marketing manager for Manager SE. “The new capabilities are designed to address real-world challenges — whether you’re quoting multiple jobs or managing deferred work. The goal is to streamline processes and ensure no detail is overlooked or opportunity missed.”

With this update, Job View lets users quickly build clear, organized estimates and invoices, grouping related labor and parts into logical job containers. This improves both on-screen workflow and customer-facing documents, while also helping shops track profitability at the job level to support smarter business decisions.

“By enhancing Job View’s capabilities, Manager SE empowers service advisors to deliver clearer communication and improve overall management of complex repair estimates,” said McDonnell.

Key features of the expanded Revisions tab include:

  • Unlimited Sub-Estimates — Create as many revisions as needed per vehicle, removing the previous nine-limit cap.
  • Automatic Sub-Estimate Naming — Tabs are automatically named based on the work inside each Sub-Estimate (e.g., Brakes Inspections or Cooling System Flush), making it easier and faster to find the right job with less effort.
  • Summary Tab + Comments — A new Summary tab displays all Sub-Estimates and offers a secure space for internal notes. Comments help prioritize work without showing on customer documents, keeping estimates clear.
  • Smarter Integration with Recommendations — Add and link Recommendations directly from the Revisions screen for faster documentation and follow-up. From the vehicle screen, you can also easily link existing Recommendations to current Revisions for better tracking.
  • Automatic Recommendation Cleanup — A Delete Linked Recommendations option removes completed Recommendations when transferring related Sub-Estimates to a Repair Order, keeping the data accurate and clutter-free.
  • Modified Date Column — Shows when each Sub-Estimate was last updated, helping advisors quickly verify that pricing and labor rates are current before proceeding.
