Manually Add a Job Description – JDXpert

Link to lesson

For this lesson, we are going to talk about how to add a job manually to the system. We have talked about how to add a job through workflows, using a revision workflow, or by adding a job in a three-step best practice workflow, but now let's talk about how to actually add a job manually to the system. We do this through Job Management.

Click on JD Job Management and up here at the top left to Add Job.

This will take you to the Add New Job dialog box.

It looks a lot like the Add Job when starting a workflow. We have a choice to select either a blank job or a base job. Since we're adding a job manually to the system, we're going to show you how to add a blank job.

Of course, we always suggest that you use a base job as your template, but there are certain instances where you need to just start from scratch. Click on Select Blank Job. Here you can enter your job code and enter your job name. Once you've entered the name go ahead and click Save and Close.

As you can see, nothing is filled in and you are starting from scratch.

As we go through this, there is no Overview, Essential Functions, Qualifications, Competencies, or Physical Demands.

To fill this out you would click on edit and fill in each block with information for your blank job description.
