Use this screen to print a report of the jobs and/or job groups that have been set up in Costpoint.
This report prints data related to the job, including the job ID, job description, job group (as applicable), creator and creation date, last modification date, comments, and your selection of the action to be taken in the event of function failure.
This report also lists the Costpoint applications and the sequence in which they will be executed for the job, as well as the module, application name, parameter ID and parameter description.
Before you can use this screen, you must first create jobs using the Manage Jobs screen. If you want to print by job group, you must also create job groups using the Manage Job Groups screen. After you establish jobs and/or job groups, you can run this report as often as you choose.
After you finish entering your preferences, click on the toolbar to start generating the report.
Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters. After you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.
You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency. The saved parameters are also useful and necessary when you want to run the process as part of a batch job. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process. When you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters automatically display as selection defaults. The page setup and print options are also included in the saved parameter ID if there are any. You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.
Enter, or click to select, a parameter
ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. Choose characters for your parameter
ID that help identify the type of selections you made in the screen, such
as PERIOD or QUARTERLY.
When you save your record, all the selections made in the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query.
You can use the parameter to run the process more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. After the default selections display in the screen, you can override the defaults.
Enter, or click to select, a parameter
description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters.
