How to change the family of a list of jobs

Applies to: all SkillsTrust platform users

You can move several jobs into a different job family at once, for example when you are organising your job architecture for review.

Solution overview

To change the family of several jobs, go to the Job Catalogue tab, enable bulk edits, select the jobs, then choose Change Family from the Actions menu. 

Step 1:  Enable bulk edits

  1. On the Job Profiles page, find the menu icon (the 3 lines) in the top right, next to the New Job button. Click it to open the options: Import, Export and Enable Bulk.



  2. Select Enable Bulk. This adds a checkbox to the left of each job.

Step 2: Select jobs and change the family

  1. Tick the checkbox next to each job you want to change. You can select as many as you need. A count appears at the top left, for example "3 jobs selected".


  2. Click the Actions button at the top right.


    Two options appear:
    1. Change Status: updates the status for all selected jobs.
    2. Change Family: moves all selected jobs to a different job family.

  3. Select Change Family.


  4. Choose the job family you want to assign from the drop-down menu, then select Apply.
      
  5. A Changing Family dialog shows the progress and confirms each job has been updated. When it reads Done and every job shows Success, click Close.
       

 

Step 3: Clear the selection  

  1. To start over, click Clear (top right of the table) to deselect everything.

Step  4: Disable bulk edits 

  1. While bulk mode is on, open the menu and select Disable Bulk to turn bulk mode off.
