# Create and manage jobs

Add, configure, reorder, and remove jobs within a project to model each machine setup or clamping change.

**Prerequisites:** A project exists in Draft status, if you want to group this job with others. A job can also be created standalone with no project at all — useful for one-off planning.

**Required permission:** Engineering → Jobs — User or above. Adding a job from a project's **Process** tab also requires that you can change that project. Admins can edit and delete any job; Managers and Users only the jobs they created.

## Create a job

1. In the sidebar, click **Engineering → Projects** and open the project.
1. Click the **Process** tab, then click **+** at the bottom of the job list.
1. Enter the job **Name** (e.g., *Op 10*, *Side A – Facing*).
1. Select the **Machine** this job will run on. This enables slot-based tool renumbering and filters tool assembly compatibility.
1. Click **Create**.

A job doesn't need a project to exist — to create one standalone, click **Engineering → Jobs → + Create** instead and leave the Project field blank.

## Reorder jobs

1. Open the project's **Process** tab.
1. Drag jobs to the desired sequence using the ≡ handle in the **Action** column of each row.
1. The new order is saved when you drop the job. Each job's **Order** number updates automatically.

## Edit a job

1. Open the project and click the job name.
1. Click **Edit** in the bottom toolbar.
1. Update the **Name** or **Machine**.
1. Click **Update**.

## Print a setup sheet for a job

Setup sheets are printed per job and are available regardless of the job's status.

1. Open the job.
1. Click **Setup Sheet** in the bottom toolbar.

## Delete a job

1. Open the job detail.
1. Click **Delete** in the bottom toolbar.

Deleting a job also deletes all operations within it.

## Notes

- A project with no jobs cannot be released.
- Each job models one machine setup. If machining a part requires two separate clampings or two different machines, create two jobs.
- To add operations to a job, see [Define Operations](https://support.toolingmetrics.com/en/engineering/guides/define-operations/).
- To import a job's operations from Autodesk Fusion, see [Import a CAM project](https://support.toolingmetrics.com/en/engineering/guides/import-cam-project/).
