Parent job assignments can be removed from two locations: the Parent Jobs section on the Job Settings page, or the General tab of the job record. Removing an assigned location job unlinks that job from the parent job. The parent job is not deleted.
Two methods are available from the Job Settings page: clearing all assigned jobs from a parent job at once, or removing individual jobs. Jobs cannot be assigned to a parent job from the Job Settings page. To assign jobs, see Assign Location Jobs to Parent Jobs.
This feature is in beta for select customers. Contact your CSM for more information.
Security
Removing location jobs from a parent job requires the following permission:
Labor → Jobs → Edit Jobs
These permissions can be added to custom user roles or individual users. The Permission Access report can be used to determine which user roles or users already have these permissions assigned. For more information, see User Setup and Security.

FAQ
Does removing all assigned jobs from a parent job delete the parent job itself?
No. Clicking the X button in the Assigned Jobs column unlinks every location job from that parent job, but the parent job record stays in the system. It remains available on the Job Settings page and can have location jobs assigned to it again at any time. See Parent Jobs Overview for how parent jobs function.
A location job's parent job assignment was removed by mistake — how is it restored?
The removal itself cannot be undone; both the Job Settings page and the job record save the change automatically as soon as it's made. To restore the relationship, assign the location job back to the parent job using the normal assignment workflow. See Assign Location Jobs to Parent Jobs.
If jobs can't be assigned to a parent job from the Job Settings page, how are jobs assigned to a parent job?
The Job Settings page only supports removing assigned jobs, not adding them. Assigning a location job to a parent job is done from the Jobs page or the Labor Matrix, individually or in bulk. See Assign Location Jobs to Parent Jobs for the full workflow.
Does removing a job from the General tab of the job record produce a different result than removing it from the Job Settings page?
No. Both paths unlink the same location job from the same parent job and produce an identical end state — only the starting point differs, since one removal begins on the parent job record and the other on the individual job record's General tab. See the Job Settings Page article for how the two views relate.
