What are Job Categories?

Job Categories is a module used to create Job categories which are used to classify Jobs into generic groups based on specific similar attributes. 

  • Navigate to Job Categories and explore existing records via the Summary page. Job Categories follow a hierarchical structure, with 'parent' rows linked to multiple 'children' rows directly beneath them.
  • Click on the link (name or number) of the record of your interest to open a modal with the related details. Select an existing Category for the parent to make the specific Category a child or erase the parent name to make the Category a parent itself.
  • Either SAVE the changes or cancel (X) and go back to the Summary page. 
  • Create a new (ADD) or delete an existing one (REMOVE)
  • Use EXPAND ALL to view parents and children and COLLAPSE ALL to only view parents.

Check the Validations & Restrictions Table below for a list of available Actions when working with Job Categories including each Action's related validations, restrictions and additional information.  View the Attributes Table for a comprehensive description of Job Categories fields.
