Professions

On the “Professions” page you manage the job titles assigned to workers in the worker settings. A profession is for information only in the worker’s data: it is shown in the list of workers and, if you wish, under the worker’s name in the planning tables. The page is used by the administrator. The list, loading from a file and archiving are described in general on the Admin Settings page.

Page layout

• The “Add new profession” and “Add from file” buttons and the “Active list” / “Archived list” drop-down.
• The table has the “Actions”, “ID” and “Profession” columns.
• The common Terake professions are also in the list. You cannot change them, but with the “Archive” button in the “Actions” column you can hide them from your options.
• This page has no “Bulk edit parameters”.

How to add or change a profession

1. Press “Add new profession” or click the row of one of your company’s professions. For an existing profession, the “Edit profession data” window opens.
2. Enter the “Profession” (mandatory). The form has no other fields.
3. Press “Save” (the window stays open) or “Save and close”. The window also has the “Delete” and “Close” buttons.

How to assign a profession to a worker

1. Open Worker settings and click the worker’s row.
2. Select a suitable profession in the “Profession” field. With the plus button next to the selection field you can add a new profession right there.
3. Save the worker’s data.

You can assign a profession to several workers at once with “Bulk edit parameters” on the workers page; when loading workers from a file, the profession can be given in the “Profession” column. If the worker has a workplace history, the profession is also shown for each period on the “Workplace history” tab.

How to load professions from a file

Press “Add from file” and follow the steps on the Admin Settings page. The only field in the file is “Profession”, and it is mandatory.

Who can see and change it

The page is in the Admin menu and opens only for the “Administrator” role, who can add, change and delete the company’s professions. Common Terake professions can only be archived for your own company. No other role gives a separate right to add or change professions. If “Users have by default create privilege” is ticked in the company settings, other users, except “Observer” and “ARIB employee”, can also add a new record with the plus button next to the “Profession” selection field on forms on other pages and change a record they added within 48 hours of adding it.

Tips

• In the planning tables you can show the worker’s profession under the name with the “Worker profession” checkbox.
• A profession does not give the worker any rights. Rights come from the worker’s roles, see Worker settings.
