Job groups
About job groups
The jobs and pre-jobs in Job Finder are organized into groups that you
create. Grouping jobs makes them easier to find and manage.
For example, if you produce a monthly magazine, you might want to
create a group for it, and then, within that group, create a separate job
for each issue of the magazine.
You can create a new group while you create a job or pre-job, or
separately. You can further organize your jobs by creating groups
within groups.
If you later decide to organize your jobs in a different way, you can
move jobs between groups, move groups into other groups, and
rename groups. You can also delete a group, if it is empty.
Groups are not part of the folder structure that you can see in a file
browser. They are part of the data structure inside Prinergy.
