# Job Group

# 🗂️ Understanding Job Group

## 📘 What is a Job Group?

A **Job Group** in Canary7 is a way to organise multiple **Job Types** (based on core Job Classes) under a single umbrella, streamlining job management and improving operational visibility.

By grouping related jobs together, you can optimise how tasks are displayed, filtered, and executed; whether by client, team, or zone.

### 🔄 Common Use Cases for Job Groups:

- **👥 Company-Based Grouping**: Especially useful in 3PL environments to group jobs by client or customer.
- **📦 Zone or Team-Based Grouping**: Ideal for warehouses with multiple teams, job zones, or locations.

Job Groups make it easier to monitor work in progress and prioritise the right tasks at the right time.

## 🔍 Accessing Job Group

1. From the **Navigation menu**, search **"Job Group"** and select it.
2. Or navigate to: **Configuration > Functional Area Setup > Job Setup > Job Group**

### 

### 📝 Fill in the following fields:

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Name** | Give your Job Group a clear, descriptive name (e.g., *Client A Jobs*, *Zone 3 Tasks*). |
| **Description** | (Optional) Add context to help others understand the purpose of the group. |
| **Active** | ✅ Ensure this box is ticked to activate the Job Group in Canary7. |

## 🔗 Assigning Job Groups to Job Types

Once created, your **Job Groups** can be applied to individual **Job Types** via the **Job Type** configuration screen. This enables filtered viewing and operational alignment across jobs within the system.

✅ **Tip**: Think of Job Groups as operational folders — they don’t change how jobs behave, but they make managing and monitoring jobs more intuitive and structured.
