Creating Jobs

You create jobs so that you can use them to create positions.

• First check whether a suitable job already exists, so that you do not need to create a new one. In the search area, select one, several, or all existing jobs. For more information, see Finding Objects and Displaying Objects.

  You can display data on the job you have selected in the detail area.

• You are familiar with Validity.

• Before creating a new job, you have checked which position you want to assign the new job to.

1. Choose  Edit  Create Job .

2. A dialog box appears. In the relevant fields, enter the validity period of the job, and enter a short and a long name.

   In the lower section of the dialog box is a list of the existing jobs in your organizational plan. If, by mistake, you enter the name of an already existing job, the system will inform you.

3. Choose Create.

Alternatively, you can create jobs and assign them to positions at the same time:

1. In the selection area, double-click on the position to which you want to assign the new job.

   The system displays the Task Assignment in the overview area.

2. Choose .

   The Choose Relationship dialog box appears.

3. Select the object type Job and confirm with .

4. In the dialog box which appears, enter the period for which the job is to be valid in the Valid from field.

5. To confirm your entries, choose .

   You have created the job and assigned it to the relevant position.

6. In the detail area, you can enter a long and short name for the new job in the Job fields.

   Save your entries by choosing .
