Datafile Software Maintain Job File Within this option you define the screen layout used within the maintain job options. To enter text position the cursor on screen and type text required. To display a data item, position the cursor and right-click with the mouse, choose the data item to display from the list and then confirm whether the item is to be view-only, mandatory or should force input to uppercase. Up to forty-eight items can be displayed on screen. To draw a screen border choose the option on the Tools pull-down menu. To draw vertical/horizontal lines switch to line mode (again on Tools pull-down) and then use mouse to click the line starting position and then drag the cursor to where you want it to end. To amend the sequence in which you process the data items then choose the Tools option ‘Sequence’. Select the item you want to move from the list and then select the item you wish to process it after. To amend the database the screen is based on, in this case the Job file; choose the DB-Restructure option from the Tools pull-down. Auto Display Category HeadingsThe maintain job screen will often have options to enter the budget values and display the actual totals for each of the cost categories but you don’t have to enter the categories as text on screen if you are listing the values downwards on the screen as the system can display the categories automatically. When designing the screen note the line and column number at which you wish to list the category descriptions and then, after saving the design and exiting, you will be asked if you wish to automatically list the categories and the line/column at which to start the display. Use a Second Screen for the Job FileThe job file maintenance options have the ability to display a second screen of details when adding, updating or viewing the job record. After exiting the screen design process of the first screen, and after confirming the display of category descriptions, you are asked whether you wish to design a second screen. Respond accordingly. Contract and OperationsIf using the ‘Split Job Codes’ functionality then the Maintain Job option allows you to design both the contract maintenance and the operation maintenance screens. When first selected you are designing the contract screen, after saving/exiting from the contract set-up you are designing the operation screens. |
