# How do I turn features on or off for my company?

> Features in use, on the Features tab of Company Settings, switches whole modules on or off for everyone. Turning one off hides it but keeps your data.

## Steps

1. Open Settings > Workflow > Project & Work Order Rules.
2. Select the Features tab (/a/settings/company?tab=features).
3. Find the feature under Features in use.
4. Switch the toggle on or off.
5. For Purchase Orders, follow up at /a/settings/finances?tab=purchase-orders to set numbering, approval thresholds and field access.

Company-wide feature toggles live at **Settings > Workflow > Project & Work Order Rules > Features** (`/a/settings/company?tab=features`). Turning a feature off removes it from navigation, dashboards and the field worker app for everyone in the company; existing data is preserved and returns when you switch it back on.

## Before you start / permissions

- Administrator role required.
- A toggle labelled **"Not in your plan"** means the parent module is not in your subscription tier — upgrade at `/a/settings/billing`.

## What each toggle enables

| Toggle | Enables | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Timesheets & Time Tracking | Daily timesheets, payroll exports, approvals | Requires Timesheets in your plan |
| Purchase Orders | POs, approvals, My Purchases | Requires Finances |
| Vendor Credits | Refunds and returns against vendor bills | Requires Finances |
| Invoices (AR) | Customer invoicing, ageing, payments | Requires Finances |
| Subcontracts | Subcontract work orders | Requires Finances; off by default |
| Advanced Dispatch | Live dispatch board, Advanced Scheduling workbench, draft plans, crew status, disruption and gate signals, crew compatibility scoring, customer SMS and email reminders | Requires Operate tier; off by default |

## Notes and limits

- Feature toggles are company-wide, not per user. To limit who sees something within an enabled feature, use roles instead.
- Turning Purchase Orders on is only step one — numbering, approval thresholds and field-employee access are configured at `/a/settings/finances?tab=purchase-orders`.
- Advanced Dispatch is opt-in: nothing in your existing schedule changes until you enable it.

## Common errors

- **A feature is still missing after enabling it** — users pick up navigation changes on their next page load; ask them to refresh.
- **The toggle will not move** — it is either outside your plan tier or you are not an Administrator.

## FAQ

### Do I lose data if I turn a feature off?

No. Turning a feature off removes it from navigation, dashboards and the field worker app, but existing data is preserved and reappears when you turn the feature back on.

### Can I enable a feature for only some users?

No — feature toggles are company-wide. Use roles and permissions to control who can see and do what inside an enabled feature.

### Why does Advanced Dispatch say it is off by default?

Advanced Dispatch is opt-in and requires the Operate tier. Nothing changes in your app until an Administrator enables it.

### I enabled Purchase Orders but approvals are not working.

Approval thresholds, PO numbering and field-employee access are separate settings at /a/settings/finances?tab=purchase-orders.
