Projetex Operations > Managing Projects and Jobs

New/Edit Corporate Job window contains the following data:

Code — unique code of corporate job is created automatically along with the job itself. The first character "J" indicates that this is a job code, letters afterwards can be either VACANT (meaning that no expert has been assigned to the job) or represent the assigned expert's code. The number is a value of corporate job counter for the assigned expert. Each expert has independent code counter for this code. If corporate jobs are reassigned to a different expert, their codes (both letters and counter) change accordingly.

Corporate Expert — experts can be assigned and reassigned at will as long as this corporate job is not included in a job assignment. Corporate job must be removed from job assignment before the expert can be reassigned from it.

Name — this name does not need to include language pair or service name, since this data is being added separately. By default this is the name of parent client job. Corporate job name can be 100 characters long maximum.

Group — group of services. All services in Projetex are broken down by groups. You can select any of the groups of services available. To add or edit a group of services open menu Settings > Corporate, and select Groups of Services section.

Service — each group of services contains a separate list of services. Before selecting a service, select group of services first. To add or edit a service, open menu Settings > Corporate, and select Services section.

Volume — job volume can be indicated in a number of units (characters, words, lines, hours and so on). To add custom units, open menu Settings > Corporate, and select Volume Units section.

You can also use built-in AnyCount or CATCount tools to quickly count the job file, or calculate CAT text volumes (100% match, fuzzy match, and so on). You can also import Trados and Logoport logs with the help of CATCount tool to quickly enter required volume. See AnyCount in Projetex 8 and CATCount in Projetex 8 topics for details.

Time spent — unlike client and freelancer jobs, corporate jobs cost is determined by multiplying time spend on the job by average hourly cost (AHC) of a corporate expert who completed it. Results are displayed in Total Cost string. Projetex will also calculate productivity (words per hour) of the corporate job by taking into account volume, time spent and AHC.

JA Folder — job assignment folders contain all files an expert would need to begin working on the job. When creating or editing corporate jobs it is often necessary to work with job files (for example you may need to copy a name of the file or count job file for exact volume).

Before creating a JA folder, create a job assignment itself by clicking Create JA button. This will create a job assignment containing this corporate job, or add this job to existing JA, if there are any. See Creating job assignments for more details on JAs.

Once job assignment has been created, JA Folder tab becomes available. This tab can be used to access JA folder without opening any additional windows. Also, JA Folder tab can be used to quickly find and access a number of folders related to this job, like project folder, client folder and ftp folders of client.

Timeline — timeline of a corporate job in Projetex includes assigned, deadline dates and the date when the corporate job has been actually completed. Deadline and Completed values are taken into account when Projetex determines status of corporate jobs (like due today, overdue and so on).

Job Quality — job quality allows to evaluate quality of a job performed by a corporate expert. There can be type any mark from 1 till 100.

Optional Status — these are used when corporate job needs to be put on hold, or when you create planned (or potential) jobs. Jobs with on hold status have their deadlines undetermined, thus on hold jobs cannot become overdue. Jobs with planned status cannot be set as completed, since planned status assumes that work has not yet started.

Instructions — any instructions or comments of Project Manager regarding a corporate job can be entered here in the form of plain text note.

Work Notes — corporate expert notes can be entered here. It is recommended to enter PM notes and exert notes separately.

Custom Fields — corporate jobs information can be customized by adding custom fields for additional information not foreseen by default controls.

Note: Only users with access to Projetex Server Administrator can add or remove custom fields. See Custom Fields topic for details.

You can save corporate job data in a printable file or print it with the help of RTF templates. To make this option available click Apply button first to save new entry in database of corporate jobs.

Templates for printing corporate job data can be edited with the help of menu Settings >Corporate. Click Templates section to quickly access all template folders. Templates for printing corporate jobs are saved in D:\BusinessServer\Templates\EXPERTS\CORPORATE\Jobs folder.
