Parent jobs group location-level jobs from multiple locations so that they can be treated as a single job when configuring labor matrix groups. Each parent job can contain only one job per location.
Labor matrix settings applied to a parent job are used to forecast labor for all assigned location-level jobs. A job must be assigned to a parent job to be included in a labor matrix group.
Parent jobs are created and edited on the Parent Jobs screen, which is accessible from the Job Settings page or when managing parent jobs assigned to a job.
Location-level jobs can be assigned to parent jobs on the Jobs page, directly on the associated job record, or in the labor matrix group.
This feature is in beta for select customers. Contact your CSM for more information.
