Overview

Job Status is a structured field within Job Management that allows you to track whether a job is filled, partially filled, cancelled, or paused based on client feedback. Instead of altering position counts or permanently removing requests, Job Status preserves the original job data while adding critical context. This ensures better historical tracking, transparency, and more accurate analytics.

Area

This feature belongs to the Job Details section of the system and is directly tied to each job request.

Pro Tip

Always use Job Status rather than altering counts when a client partially fills or cancels a job. This retains the integrity of original job metrics and provides clarity for analytics and audits.

FAQ

Q: Why not just edit the position count if a client cancels a job?
A: Editing the count removes historical data, while Job Status preserves it for reporting.

Q: Can I customize status values?
A: Yes, organizations can define status values that align with client workflows, such as On Hold, Cancelled by Client, or No Longer Needed.

Q: Does changing a job to Inactive replace setting a status?
A: No. Inactive removes it from active listings, while Status provides the reason. They should be used together.
