Creating and editing jobs

A job consists of different types of fields that are designed and arranged on the screen
to represent their printed appearance. Each field type corresponds to a data type such
as text or date / time.

Advanced profile level is required for creating and editing jobs.

New jobs can be created in two ways:

–– by opening a blank, new job with default style attributes and no field data or
–– by editing and renaming an existing job that is similar to the desired new job.

Existing jobs can be edited using the same screens and tools used to create new jobs.
