Options

An Options Page can be created to give immediate access to Custom parameters when a user open the Properties of a job. The Options page can be customized to create a job that performs a specific function. Additionally, the user can customize the following aspects of the Job Property dialog:

1.The tabs that are accessible on the Property page

2.A maximum of 10 custom fields in the newly created Options tab

3.Custom text for each of these fields

4.The icon and title text of the dialog

5.The descriptive text at the lower part of the page

An example of an Options tab is shown below. The items in this tab were created by editing a list of options in the Auxiliary section of the job. Also notice that there are only two other tabs in the dialog as opposed to the normally available 12. This was also determined by the Options section. The following sections describe how to create make each of these changes.

Note: For more on the Options page see the EnterpriseSCHEDULE User's Guide
