Job Type Categories
CIMS allows the classification of Jobs by type. Different Job Types can be associated with various system generated parameters and variables. For example the each Job Type can determine the contract "Terms & Conditions" printed on estimates.
In default CIMS installations Editorial Job are associated with a Page Rate. Entering the number of pages in a job allows CIMS to calculate the payments due.
