Overview of Jobs

Overview of Jobs

Jobs are created to request available solutions in an organization. To request a solution, users fill out forms, capturing the details of the solution. The job is then assigned to individual users, generally to be performed within a defined period.  

Say you need to book accommodation for an employee during their head office visit, you can create a job requesting the related solution. Based on the job parameters, a corresponding blueprint will

be mapped.

We provide you with default layouts and blueprints to help you understand better. You can create a job using the default Project Management Layout . Learn more about layouts and blueprints in Orchestly. 

Access privileges:  Admin users and other users with relevant Layout Permissions will be able to create jobs.
