# Job Class

## 🏷️ 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
- 📊 **Improve tracking and reporting**
- ⚙️ **Enable operational control** across the system

Every **Job Type** you create must be linked to a **Job Class**, as the Job Class determines its **overall operational category**.
