Configuring Agency Job Groups

This topic provides an overview of the Agency Staff Group Configuration and discuss the procedure to configure agency job groups.

You can use the Agency Staff Groups for identifying a common set of Job attributes that can be applied to a group of Employees.

Groups provide the flexibility to assign attributes at various levels. You can define a group for a given department, division, or for specific districts based on the commonalities of the job attributes.

Examples of Groups are:

Inspectors working in District A
Permit Technicians responsible for Fence Permits

You can configure a group with default Job Functions and their attribute values for your users.

Users entering their employee profile information can select a group job function, which results in loading default job functions and their attribute values automatically populated.

Note: Users cannot edit the job function attribute values on the Agency Staff page when using the Job Group function.

Configuring Agency Job Groups

Administrators set up and configure the agency staff group on the Job Group page. Agency users can select a group on the Agency Staff Profile page, and a default set of job functions and attribute values are assigned to the employee. To set up the job functions and attributes for a group:

Select Agency Staff > Job Group.
On the Job Group page, click Add to add a new group or Edit to change the group attributes. Click Add.
Enter the details of the job group on the Job Group Details page.
Verify that the Enabled switch is turned on if you want to enable this group when you save. This switch is turned on by default for a new group.
Under the Job Function section, click Add to select job functions and include their attributes.
Click Save to return to the Job Group page.

Note: Agency users select the group from a list on the Agency Staff page. The job functions and their corresponding attributes cannot be changed by users.
