Stage four of preparing for production: Creating a new job description

images\step4inprocess.gif

The simplest way to create a job description is to use the job description wizard.

However, if you want to do it by hand, you can create a new job description in two ways. The first way uses the Manager and the second way uses a production module.

To set up a new job description using the Manager or one of the production modules:

  1. If you are using the Manager module, click the Job descriptions object bar. If you are using a production module, go directly to step 2.

  2. Right click under the bar and select New.

    Alternatively:

Note

When you create a job description using a production module, a complete job description for all modules is created, although you can only see the settings that apply to the production module you are using.

In the Job description dialog, you must now select which forms to process.

After selecting forms to process, you can click the tabs at the top of the dialog and customize the settings of the job description. Each job description tab begins with standard settings. Click Default at any time to reset to the standard settings.

If you have variations of supposedly identical forms that make identification difficult, you may want to use flexible forms functionality. In that case, see Creating a new job with flexible forms.

After you set the details of your job description, close the dialog by clicking OK. If you made any changes, FORMS asks whether you want to save the job description.
