Before you begin using FORMS to process forms, it is worthwhile to read about your alternatives for each of the four types of job descriptions – Scan, Interpret, Verify and Transfer job descriptions. By trying different settings, you can customize FORMS to your needs and make the verification process very efficient.
Do not hesitate to define a number of job descriptions with different settings to see which ones work best with different form definitions or for different users.
If you find yourself frequently opening the same job description, you can save yourself that step.
Follow these instructions to base one job description on another, using any of the production modules:
Open a job description that you already created.
Make any changes you choose.
Click OK to close the Job description dialog.
FORMS asks you if you want to save the edited job description. Click No. The new job description is not discarded, but is not saved to the old file, either.
Select ð Save as.
In the Save job description file as dialog, type a new name.
Click Save.
If you want to try various settings for an existing job description while working in one of the production modules, there is no need to save changes.
When FORMS asks you if you want to save an edited job description, click No. Even when you do not save the job description, your changes are still active and you can click the Start button on the toolbar to use the job description with its changes.
You can always change your mind and select ð Save or Save as. If you close the module without doing so, the changes are permanently lost.
