You can create job codes to uniquely identify roles in your ChartHop organization while also creating associations to those roles in your payroll system or ATS.

![New Job Code](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/CXAjUAezd9VEEVQBIYmdw/dc_tSZjGvYmBP_6a-xVPW_create-job-code.png)

To create a job code:

1. From the **Settings** option in the left navigation bar, select **Groups**.
2. Select **Create band** from the **Bands** tab.
3. From the **New Band** dialog, configure your team using the following settings:
   - **Name:** A required field, is the name or title of your job.
   - **Code:** A required field, is a short code or code number used to uniquely identify the job in other systems.
   - **Description**: A brief summary of the role tied to the job code.
   - **Color:** The color that will be applied to relevant group members in the org chart.
4. Select **Save** when you're done.

In a scenario, the audit log shows which fields were filled in from the job code and which were overridden. See [Scenario audit log](https://docs.charthop.com/scenario-audit-log).
