Job Groups are used in Jarrison Time to collect various jobs together in a way they can be later used as a group.

The purpose of assigning created jobs to job groups varies from company to company, but is generally used to group them according to certain employees, departments, cost centres, or even projects.

The groups can then be sent on devices, thus providing the correct job options available when clocking. Groups can also be used to limit the jobs that users in Jarrison Time can work with.

This article will guide a user on how to assign these jobs and further than that, to allocate this to the relevant device an employee will clock on.

1) Locate and click Job Groups under the Job Costing option on the menu bar.

2) If you want to use a new group click on Add. A group will require an appropriate name, which can be entered in the Name field.

3) Whether working with an existing group or a newly-created one, the next step will be to select the jobs which should be part of the group. If all existing jobs need to be selected, you can click the Select All button. If all jobs are selected the button will change to Unselect All.

4) Click Save when done.

Assigning to Devices

Job groups can be assigned to any JT Clock Team device, or to biometric readers, provided the model is compatible with work codes.

1) Navigate to Access > Devices.

2) Select a device to send a group to, and click on the Work Code tab.

3) Use the dropdown list under Job Group to select the job group to send.

4) Click Save. An entry will be added to the queue to be processed by the JT Engine, after which the jobs contained in the job group will be available for use on the device.

Yes, Jarrison Time has a feature called the Day Schedule which can be used to assign shifts to any employee or group of employees for specific dates. It is most useful for employees who often change shifts without any set pattern.

To import a roster using information from another system, a template file will need to be prepared in the format Jarrison Time can work with.

The template can be located by browsing to this location: C:\Program Files(x86)\Jarrison Systems\Jarrison Time

The template file name is “Template for importing Day Schedule – Alternate Day Programs.csv”

The file contains instructions and an example layout. Please configure the file as needed and be sure to save the file in plain .csv format.

To import the prepared file, go to the Import option on the menu bar, and then Day Schedule.

Click Browse, and then locate the template file where you saved it. Then click Import.

If no errors are encountered the Day Schedule will be populated per the imported file.
