The 'Jobs List' is where information for released jobs is located. Standard Job, Team Job, Multi Job, Job Setup, and Machine transactions share most of the same functionality in regard to the 'Jobs List'. If left open, the 'Jobs List' and 'Job Operations List' will automatically refresh every minute to recalculate times and pull in new job information. The 'Jobs List' can be broken down into three main parts; the Top Menu, Jobs List, and Job Details List.

Jobs Count

The 'Jobs Count' is located at the far left side of the 'Top Menu'. This item displays the total count of jobs available. This count will change based on the filter criteria that have been set.

Work Center List

The 'Work Center' drop-down is located in the center of the 'Top Menu'. The 'Work Center' drop-down is a list of all available 'Work Centers'. This information typically comes from the ERP system. When an employee has a default Work Center set in the employee setup, this drop-down selection will default to the employee’s default work center, and the 'Jobs List' and 'Job Details List' will be filtered by all jobs and operations that contain the default work center that has been set.

Work Centers other than what has been set for the employee may be selected from the drop-down. Changing the Work Center will also change the jobs and operations that are available in the view.

The first option in the drop-down is the 'All Work Centers' option. This is the default when an employee does not have a default Work Center set. This option will show all jobs and operations that are available. It is recommended that employees are assigned default Work Centers, as the jobs list has the potential to be very large without a filter.
