Posting an existing job will make the job available for officers to sign up on the RollKall mobile app. This is a great option when you want to give Officers a fair chance at applying to the job. Before following this tutorial, you'll need to create a job first.

Post a Job

Would you like RollKall to teach you how to post a job? Login to your RollKall account and click this link for a walkthrough:

1. 1. Click Jobs on the blue navigation bar at the top of the page.
  2. Click the Upcoming or Unstaffed
  3. Click on the job you want to post, and select the Post button at the top of the page or from the main Jobs page, select the checkbox to the left of the job you want to post; then click the Post Selected button on the bottom of the page.

The Post Job modal displays:

1. 1. Post with Assignment Rule: Select whether you want to post the job per an Agency assignment rule that has already been created.
    Note: You can click Yes and + Create New Rule to create a new assignment rule without having to go to the 'Officer Approval & Assignment Rules' section of Agency Settings.
  2. Would you like to post this job to a specific group of officers?: A group would need to be created in order to show on the dropdown as an option if selecting a 'specific group'. (Optional) Delay Viewing: Select whether you want to delay the posting to the rest of the Agency by a delay of hours, if the job is not filled 48 hours before the job starts or if the job should only be visible to the selected group.
  3. Time to Post: Select whether you want to post the job immediately or at a designated time. If you decide to post at a designated time, enter the specifics. The Post at a Specific Date/Time is particularly useful for recurring jobs as it automatically schedules and posts those jobs once you have performed the initial setup.
  4. Officer Approval & Assignment Rules:

Assign Manually	Officers apply to the job on the RollKall mobile app. The Coordinator can review all of the Applicants under 'Positions' on the job details, then, select the Officer who should be assigned.

Troubleshooting

How can I tell which jobs are posted and which are not?

There is a red eye and a green eye that labels whether a job is posted or not. The red eye means the job is not posted. The green eye means it is posted.

If I have manually assigned Officers to jobs, do I still need to post the job?

There's no need to post a job if it's staffed but there is a perk to posting a staffed job if your Agency allows Officers to call off and find their replacement on the RollKall mobile app. When a job is staffed and posted, the job will not appear on the RollKall mobile app available to Officers. But, if the Officer staffing a job, needs to call off, and the job is posted, the Officers will be able to post the job to the RollKall app to try to find a replacement.
