# Personal Jobs

Admin Content

A personal job is a user-specific folder that can be used as a scratchpad or as a personal storage area. This can be created with a standard job template when a user is created or whenever the employer decides to create one for all users.

### 1.1. How to Set Up Personal Jobs

1. In the **12d Synergy Administration** application, select the **Users tab > Personal Jobs tab**.

2. Click the **Set** button against the **Personal job parent** box to select the parent job or folder under which you want to create personal jobs for all active users.
3. Click the **Set** button against the **Personal job template** job box to select the template that is used to create all personal jobs.  
The settings to create a personal job are configured.

2. Select the **Create a personal job** check box.  
When the user is created, a personal job is created in the location set in the [How to Set up Personal Jobs](https://help.12dsynergy.com/docs/v5personaljobs#11-how-to-set-up-personal-jobs) procedure. If the location is not set, then the personal job is created as a top-level job.

### 1.3. How to Create a Personal Job for an Existing User

You can create a personal job only for users who do not have a personal job already created for them at the time of user creation.

1. In the **12d Synergy Administration** application > **Users** tab > **Personal Job** tab, [configure the settings for creating a personal job](https://help.12dsynergy.com/docs/v5personaljobs#11-how-to-set-up-personal-jobs).
2. Click the **Create** button.  
The following confirmation prompt is displayed.

A user can have only ONE personal job. If a user already has a personal job, then clicking the **Create** button does NOT create another personal job.
