Job types support the creation of different jobs in the system. The ability to create different jobs encompassing all facets of the development and construction industries allows all jobs to be easily managed in the Production module, categorised by a specific set of circumstances. These job types also include job type specific screens with their own set of work flow stages. This functionality is beneficial to land and multi-user developments but can be applied in other situations.

Job type affects the following system areas:

Context bar
Job type selection on the Job Overview screen
Work flow stages associated with each job type
Customised screens.

Using Job Types

Job types allow the management of different types of builds, which have different sets of circumstances. Each job type has its own set of work flow stages where specific content relevant to the job type can be captured. Job types have also been added to the context bar so that a job’s type is easily recognisable, regardless of which screen is opened.

Job types are also relevant when using job hierarchy (see Client Files and Jobs) which assists in linking an individual job with multiple jobs. Using a tree structure, it allows separate but related jobs to be organised in a way that records their relationship. The 'parent' job must have a higher job type than the 'child' jobs being linked to it.

The hierarchy of job types is as follows:

Englobo Land Job, General Grouping Job
Estate Job
Estate Stage Job
Single Lot – Land Only Job, Single Lot – Land & Building(s) Job

Example

A job with a Single Lot - Land & Building(s) job type cannot be the 'parent' job as it is the lowest in the hierarchy of job types
