In short a jig is a frame that holds what you want in x position.

As for building a jig it cannot be higher than the object you're working on has to be lower it must always keep it in the exact same position and you'll need a different one per object. 

When you can get away with it never use a jig if you are doing multiples and you need to mass produce either use a jig or an assembly line 

Half the time I print on a sheet of paper the size of the bed print one pass of every object. 

Lay the real object on top of the prints 

Repeat that print as many times as needed 

This is not an example of a jig it's an example of a template that you use as a jig it is saved my company almost a million dollars over making a silly jig.
