Adding and Deleting Job Categories

The folder feature allows the user to organize jobs by the type of job. A folder should be created for each job group that contains a considerable different stage list. By grouping jobs properly and creating a standard stage list for each group will simplify the step of creating new jobs. For example a construction company may group jobs labeled Commercial, Agricultural, and Residential. Sub-folders labeled as New Construction and Remodeling may be added under each one of the main job groups. To setup the job folder groups go to Job Costing > Options > Job Folders tab.
