# Job types

> The six job types in Settings and what each one controls.

Owner / Admin, General Manager, and Foreman can open Settings and pick **Job Types**. Service Advisor and Technician do not see this tab.

Settings > Job Types is a read-only reference pane. The six types are fixed for every shop. You cannot add, edit, delete, or reorder them.

## Open Job Types

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Settings">
    Open Settings from the left rail.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick Job Types">
    Click **Job Types** in the Settings list. The dialog title reads Job Types.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## The pane layout

The left side lists **Job Types** with six rows. Each row shows the type name, its default estimated hours, and a color swatch.

Click a row to show its detail on the right. The detail panel shows the name, default hours, a short description, and a **Where this shows up** list.

A footer bar at the bottom reads **Fixed set.** These six job types and their colors are the same for every shop.

## The six job types

| Type                    | Default Est. Hours | Color   |
| ----------------------- | ------------------ | ------- |
| Alignment               | 1.0 hrs            | #06B6D4 |
| Diagnostic              | 1.0 hrs            | #3669AC |
| Inspection              | 0.5 hrs            | #7C3AED |
| LOF + Inspection        | 0.5 hrs            | #16A34A |
| Pre-Purchase Inspection | 1.0 hrs            | #C2410C |
| Repair                  | 2.0 hrs            | #EAB308 |

Every type shares this description: "The type keeps service work visually consistent from the board to reporting."

When you click a type, **Where this shows up** lists three bullets:

* Card tint and left edge on the schedule board
* Default Est. Hours on a new job, with that type's hours in parentheses
* Auto-Schedule capability matching

For example, Repair shows "Default Est. Hours on a new job (2.0 hrs)" and Inspection shows "(0.5 hrs)".
