**Positions** are the roles or titles assigned to employees in WorkBook.
> 📝 Note, that before setting up an employee their position must exist in WorkBook first so it can be assigned to them on creation of the record.
Positions have two specific purposes in WorKBook and are used for:
1. creating “group scheduling resources”, and
2. creating a price list
> ℹ️ Please refer to the relevant articles on how positions are used for [Group Scheduling Resources](https://tangram.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TGKB/pages/613187745).
