FAQs

What is the difference between a Job Role and a Job Title?

A Job Role comes from a predefined list of roles used to help with performing actions, such as applying Price Schemes. A Job Title is something that is free text for you to type against the User. You will find this in the User Maintenance Page, under the Personal tab.

Job Roles are generic labels, whereas Job Titles are bespoke to the individual. Both can be applied to each and every User in the platform if required.
