Finding jobs

Jobs make valid processes that require employee activities available as a sequence of work steps.

Jobs make valid processes that require employee activities available as a sequence of work steps.

Background

Jobs are the key means of actually bringing a process to life and implementing it in reality. Of course, modern processes contain many work steps that are carried out automatically by machines. But even for these process steps, specific employees are responsible for monitoring them. That is why these steps are also included in the job.

To ensure that the process is realized successfully time and again, the required work steps must be distributed transparently to employees or groups by means of jobs, taking responsibilities into account. Jobs assigned to groups can be taken over by any group member.

You can use two views of the jobs that are relevant to you:

• Due jobs are tasks

  On the home page, the Current tasks area shows you your tasks, including your due jobs.

  Start a job there by clicking Complete the job ‘<Job name>’ for jobs assigned to you, or Job ‘<Job name>’ can be taken over for jobs assigned to your group.

• Your jobs yesterday and today

  In the main menu, Jobs takes you directly to the overview of all jobs that are or were assigned to you or your group for execution. Here, too, you can take over a job.

The jobs relevant to you are displayed for execution in the order of the deadline entries.

How to proceed

1. To view your pending jobs, click the Current tasks heading under Relevant for me on the home page. Start a job by clicking Complete the job ‘<Job name>’ or Job ‘<Job name>’ can be taken over.

   The job is displayed with its details.

2. To view the overview of all jobs relevant to you, select Jobs in the main menu.

   The jobs are divided into the To take over, My jobs, Colleagues’ jobs and Completed tabs. The overview shows you all the respective jobs.

3. To restrict the display of your jobs in a tab of the Jobs overview to specific processes and/or a specific period, use the Process and Period selection lists.

   The display is restricted accordingly.
