Use this screen to set up optional job groups. This screen consists of a single field in a single table window.
Job groups are used only for organizational purposes, and play no role in the execution of a job. An optional job group can be assigned to a job in the Jobs screen (Administration\Maintain\Job Management).
The ability to assign job groups to jobs enables some efficiencies when you print the Job Report (Administration\Review\Job Management), since you can choose to print job definitions in that screen, either for an individual job or for one or more job groups.
If you want to organize jobs into job groups, you must set up job groups in this screen before you can assign one to a job in the Jobs screen (Administration\Maintain\Job Management).
How can I delete a job group in this screen?
Only job groups that are not assigned to a job in the Jobs screen (Administration\Maintain\Job Management) can be deleted.
Use the normal Delete function from the menu bar.
