Master Job Definition Properties

Master Job Definition contains general information about the job as well as panels that expose the defined properties when expanded. For those with the appropriate privileges, a Lock button will also appear at the top-right corner of the page that allows you to switch between the two modes. The button appears gray and locked (Master Job Definition Read-only Button) when in Read-only mode and appears green and unlocked (Job Definition Admin Button) when in Admin mode. The page also has a menu for quickly accessing the panels.

General Info

For information about the General Info section, refer to Viewing and Updating General Info.

Master Job Definition Panels

Each expandable panel that is displayed on the Master Job Definition page represents a job property category.

  • In Read-only mode, a panel is displayed only when properties have been defined for the category. These properties can be viewed only and not changed while in this mode.
  • In Admin mode, all available panels are displayed on the page and may contain properties that can be modified.

Master Job Definition Menu

The menu in the left portion of the page allows you to access any of the master job definition panels quickly. The menu can be collapsed to show icons and tool tips only. When a menu item is left clicked, the view automatically scrolls to that particular panel on the page and the panel is expanded to expose its contents. Right clicking a menu item will toggle Full Screen mode.
