NOTE

In order to use Group Job Titles, the “Enable Placeholder Resources” system setting must be set to ON.

           

Group Job Titles (formerly called Job Titles in Groups or JTIGs) are Job Titles that are members of a User Group. They have two functions:

  • Placeholder resources used in place of User Resources when planning Work and the named resources are not yet known. See here for more information on Placeholder resources.
  • Rate Holders used to determine Cost and Billing rates for both User and Placeholder resources. See here for more information on managing Group Job Title rates.

Adding a Group Job Title

           

NOTES

  • On creation, Group Job Titles initially take on the cost & billing rates associated with the Job Title. If Job Title rates are not specified, the Organization rates are used.
  • Job Titles added to Groups do not have an impact on group capacity
  • Once created, it is currently not possible to delete a Group Job Title from a Group

           

You can create a Group Job Title in the following ways:

Adding a Job Title as a member of a User Group
