# Creating a Job

> [!NOTE]
> Jobs in FCM
> 
> After Flange or Grayloc Equipment have been [defined](/v414/docs/creating-flanges-overview), Jobs can be created. The purpose of a Job is to group together Schedules associated with Flange or Grayloc Equipment so that the scope can be easily managed and carried out in the field.
> 
> 
> 
> Schedules in IMS are tools that outline which tasks, such as inspections or maintenance, need to be accomplished and by when. To learn more about Schedules, see: [IMS Schedules (across Disciplines)](/v414/docs/ims-schedules-across-discipline).

> [!NOTE]
> Take note
> 
> When a Job is added to a [Planned Event](/v414/docs/ims-planned-events-1), all the Schedules within the scope of that Job will become part of the Planned Event. These Schedules can be viewed on the [Planned Event Details Page](/v414/docs/ims-planned-events#planned-events-details-page), specifically in the **Schedules for Event** tab of the Schedules section.

After your Job has been created, the [Job Details Page](/v414/docs/job-details-page) will be displayed. You be able to add Flanges or Graylocs to the Scope of the Job, from the Job Details Page.
