🏷️ Understanding Job Class
❓ What is a Job Class?
A Job Class in Canary7 is a system-defined, hard-coded category that represents one of the core operational activities in the warehouse.
These classes define the fundamental types of work that can be executed — and unlike Job Types, they cannot be edited or expanded.
📚 Why Job Classes Matter
Job Classes help to:
🧩 Group related activities for better organisation
