How do you Job on and off?

This article explains how to use the FourJaw Operate actions page to job on and off a work order.

Jobbing On

To "job on" (i.e., log that the machine has started working on a particular operation in a work order), click on Actions and then click on Job On.

You will see a list of jobs in priority order, highest at the top. Click on the "job on" button for the work order and operation you want to work on.

That's it. You will see the job you are jobbed on to at the top of the dashboard. You can see how long you have spent on the job and how long the job was estimated to take.

In the job list you can see all the jobs assigned to your machine, your cell or your factory by using the drop down menu.

You can add a new job by clicking the button and filling in details. It will be added to the job list on your machine.

Jobbing Off

To job off, you can click on Job off in the job list, or directly on the Actions page.

You can either pause a job, or complete a job. Pausing a job leaves it in the job list so that you can do more work on it later. Completing a job removes it from the job list and fixes the amount of time that has been booked to that job.

Operators can see how much time they have booked on to a job in comparison to the estimate for that job.
