u Job Management and Control functionality allows direct control of the job queue, facilitating job assignment, follow up and handling of Job completion.
u Based on the user profile some buttons do not show up in the screen. Only those functions granted to each user will be available. Additional options are available for controlling this screen operation (see here).
u A Quick Query box (light green) can be used to select a list of Jobs. It can be used to select jobs of a giver type (Service), assigned to a particular provider, open Jobs (without a expect completion date) and Jobs in progress. The More… button brings up the full Job Query screen, providing additional job selection options and criteria.
u The Assign To button updates the Job provider and its expected due date. This button is used to control Job assignment to different providers. If the selected Job's expected completion date is before the Job Due Date field, the Job Due Date field will update its expected completion date.
u The four buttons in the light yellow box provide the following functions:
- New Job: brings up a Job creation form, to add new Jobs to the database;
- Del Job: removes the selected Job from the database;
- New Sub: brings up a Job creation form, to add a new subordinate job to the one selected in the list; the associated program & copy will be the same as the original job;
- Workflow: using the selected job details a valid job template is applied and the corresponding jobs are generated.
u The Job Done button will flag the selected Job as Completed and display the proper Job Completion dialog (see below).
u The Job Done button selects completed jobs. When executed, the system will request information related to start/end date, operator, workstation, final values, etc. on the completed job.
u When completing a parent job, the system verifies subordinated jobs that were completed, and indicates any incomplete job. It is possible to cancel the operation or force completion of the parent job.
u The Total Sub button in the parent jobs screen calculates the total of completed subordinate jobs, and updates the price value, duration, taxes, and total cost for the parent job.
u The Status field displays a two-letter code for jobs already completed. It provides codes for each complete job related to the program.
u The code related to each type of job is found in the Job Parameters Screen, in the Action Code field. Only a two-letter value is accepted.
u Different dialogs are presented depending on the type of Job (service) being completed. The specific dialog is configured in the Job Parameters Screen, in the Job Done Action field, and can be:
- Standard: brings up the standard Job completion dialog above (default);
- Simple: brings up a dialog with Job completion parameters only;
- TQC: shows a Program Copy technical detail & TQC Report together with Job Completion parameters; after completing the details, the Program Copy record is updated, and the Job marked as completed; this option combines in a single screen all the input required for a TQC job.
