Jobs

A Job can adopt different meanings, depending on each company's activity. For a company operating in the transportation business, a job might be transporting a load from one place to another. For a field services company, a job might be repairing a lift in an apartment building. For a sales force company, a job might be visiting a client to pick up new orders.

A Job might consist of single or more tasks. On the following table are presented some job/task relations:

Single task jobs	Multiple task jobs
Repairing a lift in an apartment building. The job can be thought of as having one task: 1. Go to apartment building	Transporting a load from place A to place B. The job can be thought of as having two tasks: 1. Pick up the load from Place A 2. Deliver the load from Place B
Visiting a client to pick up new orders. The job can be thought of as having one task: 1. Go to client's premises

Each Task of each Job has always an associated status. The status indicates each Task's current situation. Following is Task status workflow. The direction of the arrows indicates interdependencies between statuses:

In a similar way, also a Job itself has an associated status. This status will be defined by assessing the status of each Task that composes the Job. For Jobs, there are 10 different possible statuses:

Status	Icon	Description
Pending		A Job is Pending when all its tasks are pending, i.e. not yet assigned to a vehicle.
