Job configuration side panel
This panel is displayed on the right when you select a step in the Process card.
Here you can:
set up the job auto-starting strategy in the Automatically Start Job when section:
Do not start – jobs in the selected step will not get autostarted. A manual start is required.
Any preceding Job is Ready (default setting) – jobs in the selected step will be started automatically when any preceding job for the same language combination moves to Ready status.
All preceding Jobs are Ready – this setting has two scenarios:
For steps that consist of a single job – the selected step will only be started after all jobs in the preceding steps are either Ready or Canceled.
For steps that consist of several jobs – the job in the step will be started after the preceding job for the same language combination moves to Ready or Canceled status.
set up the default vendor selection strategy in the Default Vendor section:
None (default setting) – no default resource is assigned to the step.
Current Project Manager – assigns the current Project Manager to the step (the user needs to be linked with a vendor).
Current Project Coordinator – assigns the current Project Coordinator to the step (the user needs to be linked with a vendor).
Specific Vendor – assigns a selected vendor to the step. Click the Select Vendor button or the name of the previously selected vendor. The Select Vendor pop-up window is displayed. Click on a vendor and then the Select Vendor button at the bottom of the pop-up.
Send Job Offers according to rule – sends job offers for the step. To activate this strategy, select a rule from the dropdown list. If you want the step to be autostarted, select the Vendor is selected from Job Offers checkbox in the Automatically Start Job when section.
set up the file flow. You can separately select which files will be provided by the PM or client and which will be delivered from the previous step. For the first step in the process, you can only select file categories for the PM or Client source. For your convenience, the most often used file categories are preselected.
When you add a step to the process, it is included in the file flow automatically. This step will receive initial reference files and work files from the previous step and deliver files to the next one (if applicable).
In the Work Files for Vendor section, select the categories of files that will be regarded as work files.
In the Reference Files for Vendor section, select the categories of files that will be regarded as reference files.
In the Files to be Delivered by Vendor section, select the categories of files that will be sent to the next step in the process.
set up the minimum job duration for the step in the Scheduling section. The Use default duration from Automatic Job Dates option is selected by default (for details, see the Configure the Automatic Job Dates guide). You can switch to the Define specific Minimum Job Duration option and set a custom duration.
enable the vendor to evaluate the previous step in the Evaluation section.
