Functions in the system are a way to categorize services. They are a way of sorting basic services into a larger grouping for tracking in the legacy dashboard.

To create a function, click the **Admin** tab under the **Job Configuration** category. Find and click on the link that says **Functions**. Once there, click **New Function** on the far right above the **Search Results**box. Give the function a **Name**, **Description** and **Color**.

The colors are used to track the functions in a pie graph on the legacy dashboard. So, making sure each function has a different color will make the pie graphs more decipherable.
