Just as a job can be broken down into a series of tasks, so can large jobs be composed of a set of jobstreams. For example, closing multiple branches each week would consist of doing the end of week jobstream and then changing company codes and repeating the process until all branches were closed.

TempsPlus staffing software allows one jobstream to call another jobstream. When multiple jobstreams are used to handle a job, it is referred to in Temps Plus staffing software as a collection. Jobstreams and jobstream collections can be intermingled on a task list and any stream may be executed by simply highlighting it and pressing the [Run] key.

As an alternative, jobstreams and/or jobstream collections staffing software can be stored in individual files on the desktop or elsewhere in the system and be executed by simply double clicking on its icon.

So, there are three levels to the structure of jobstreams:

• Tasks - which consist of individual commands
• Jobstreams - which consist of one or more tasks
• Collections - which consist of one or more jobstreams

When using TempsPlus staffing software Jobstream you can:

• Facilitate daily repetitive tasks
• Automate the consecutive printing of several reports
• Perform weekending tasks automatically
• Allow non-supervisory personnel to run "SUPER" only tasks as part of a controlled stream without compromising security passwords
• Perform almost any function available within the Temps Plus program, including queries, searches, etc.
• Perform many operating system related functions from within a jobstream. For instance:
• Run a report, move the current batch to the period batch, and print the period batch invoice preview
• Combine several company codes into a combined database (using queries), compact the new database, and print custom designed reports from the new combined database
• Print weekending reports, prompt the user for confirmation that all reports ran OK, close the printed invoices to history, update the current payroll (using a supplied cutoff date), change to a new company code any number of times, and repeat the process
