Concepts
Job associations are not assignments, rather they indicate that a person is "connected" to a job. This lets you mark a person as someone who does a specific job, and give them the status of "Active", "Inactive", "Substitute" or "Other".
VSys can automatically create or update job associations when a person is credited with hours.
Setting up job associations rules
Open the Job associations setup tool from the Job associations link on the Setup panel.

Affects the options below, which only take effect if the hours being entered are within this time period of today. |
If an existing job association exists, a it's marked as "Inactive", mark it as "Active" |
If the person has a job association for this job, and it's currently marked as "Inactive", VSys will update it to "Active". |
If no existing job association exists, create one |
If the person has no job association for this job, VSys will create one and mark it as "Active". |
Update end date to the hours date |
Sets the end date of an existing job association to the date of the hours record plus the number of days you specify. |
Only automatically create/update these jobs |
The above rules only apply to these jobs. |
But not these jobs |
If any jobs are on this list, excludes them from the above actions even if the job is checked under "Only automatically create..." |
Use supervisors |
Checking this allows the entry of a supervisor for each job association. These supervisors can then be sorted, filtered and reported on. |
Use locations |
Checking this allows the specification of a location for each job association. These locations can then be sorted, filtered and reported on. |
