This article will show you how to change the "Job Category" field from the "Job Detail" screen. This is useful for designating categories for your jobs to filter reports or for specific functions in CLIP that utilize the job category field.

From the "Job Detail" screen, you can click the three dots button from the example above to add, delete, or edit changes to the job categories.

Before starting, make sure you have made a complete backup and check to make sure everyone is out of CLIP.

Click the link below if you need steps on how to backup CLIP.

In the box, type the job category in the field.
