Managing Work Jobs
About Jobs
Each work order contains one or more jobs which are to be completed by individual workgroups (Long Line, Short Line, Specialty Markings, etc.). A job may have one of four statuses:
Status
Description
NEW
The job has not been issued to the workgroup.
ISSUED
The job is ready to be completed by the workgroup.
COMPLETED
The job has been completed by workgroup and submitted for review.
HOLD
The work order has been placed on hold.
Create a Job
There are two mechanisms for creating jobs:
Auto-Generated Jobs
When a Markings work order is created, jobs for each of the selected workgroups are created automatically. See Create a Work Order for more details.
Manually Create a Job
Jobs can be manually added to any work order, provided the work order is not CLOSED or ON HOLD. See Manage Work Orders (COMING SOON) for more details.

Follow the steps in Find Jobs to find and view Job Details.
The Job Details page displays relevant information about the job, as well as forms to submit information about work that was completed.

Continue to add entries for Time, Specifications, and Materials as needed. You may remove entries from by clicking the trash bin icon under the Remove column of any of the job tables.
Once at least one entry has been submitted for each section of the work order*, it is possible to mark the job as completed. To complete the job, click the Complete Job button at the top of the Job Details page.
