Overview:
You can view Job Details by clicking on the blue Job Number in Jobs. Job Maintenance also includes a Details View button, providing the ability to change some fields shared with Job Maintenance View, but also unique options like closing and finalising the Job, and access to Notes, Attachments, etc. You can make this screen available to all Users in a read-only state, preventing changes from being made while still providing basic Job information, while also disabling access to the Maintenance view. You can modify these options based on the user's Role.
Screen Guide:
Main Tab:
Job Code is the alpha-numeric code given to this individual Job and is unique.
Description is the description of the Job, and is also the Job Name.
Job
Level is the tier or hierarchy that this Job or Subjob was created at and is not editable.
Parent Job is used only when this Job is a Sub Job. This field determines where this Job sits in the Job Hierarchy.
Client is
the client Company
for the Job.
Profit Centre displays the Profit Centre this Job sits under.
Job Manager is the person nominated to be the central manager of the Job. You can set someone as a Job Manager in Users.
Account Manager is the person nominated to be the manager of the client account for the Job. You can set someone as an Account Manager in Users.
Price Code allows you to set the Price Code for Input Based Selling. Even if your Job does not use this Billing
method, an empty code can be used.
Job Type is a category that this Job is assigned to. These categories can be used for reporting purposes, and can be maintained in Job Types.
Job Status allows you to choose from the list of
Job Statuses. By default the statuses are Open, Closed, and Invoiced. Note that these statuses are for filtering and coordination, and are different from the Closed and Finalised flags below.
Closed marks this job as closed for posting new Timesheet and Purchase Order entries, while leaving AP Invoice Enquiry and Job Sales Invoices open to be processed. This state is intended to be used when a Job is practically completed but waiting to finish final processing of invoices. You can close Sub Jobs individually, reducing the possibility of misallocation of transactions to closed Jobs.
Finalised marks this job as archived, and no further changes can be made to the Job. This state is intended to be used when a Job has completely finished and has been fully invoiced and receipted.
Details is a custom text field that can optionally be entered to give more information about the project.
Extension Columns Tab:
You can add custom extension fields for this tab using the "Job" type in Extension Columns. There, you can set the data type (text, date, drop down, size, etc.) in order to track anything else your company needs regarding your Jobs.
Attributes Tab:
/wiki/spaces/WBJOBCOSTING/pages/43778727 are used to categorise jobs in custom ways that aren't already provided for reporting purposes. These are optional and can be updated independently at any time.
Category is the overarching Group Category
for this job.
Group is the Job Group you wish to apply to this job.
Value is an optional free text value given to this categorisation.
You can add additional lines using the New Line
link, or delete mistaken or incomplete entries by ticking the Bin
checkbox.
File Attachments Tab:
On this tab, you can utilise Workbench's File Attachments feature to upload a variety of files and attach them to this Job.
Select File allows you to click "Choose file" to browse your computer for a file to attach. Alternatively, for quick attachment, you can simply drag and drop the desired file onto this button instead. The area that you can drag into is highlighted in the screenshot with a red box.
File URL gives you the option of linking to a website address rather than attaching a file from your computer. To use this field, make sure you do not attach a file as well.
File Group is an optional categorisation option using File Groups. This aids in searching and organising.
Details is another optional field, giving you space to describe what the attachment is or why it is attached if it needs more clarification than the file name suggests.
Be sure to click the Upload button after selecting your file or URL. After uploading, the file or URL will appear below with the details entered.
You can Edit or Delete attachments at any time. Do not click the red Delete button as this will attempt to delete the Job as a whole.

People Tab:
Often on large projects there are many people involved, internal and external, like client's representatives, tradees, and any other stakeholders.

To add new people create them first on the People screen and then add them here.
Next Steps:
Additional Job settings can be found by clicking the Maintenance button (Job Maintenance View).
Using the red Delete button will attempt to delete this Job as a whole. Jobs cannot be deleted if there is underlying data such as Timesheet/PO/AP/AR transactions, Work Centres, Dockets, etc. If you need to delete a newly created Job, deleting all Job Work Centres first may be enough to delete the Job.
