1. Creating and Configuring Jobs
Before starting work with the production journal, you need to create and configure a list of jobs that will be used later. Go to settings and click "Job List"
A window with the job list will open. This window allows you to view, add, modify, and archive jobs used in the production journal.
How to use:
To add a new job, click "Add". The "Job Edit Form" window will open, where you need to specify the name, job type, summation method for multiple employees, row color, and archive status.
To edit a job, click "Edit". The "Job Edit Form" window will open, where you need to specify new data: name, job type, summation method for multiple employees, row color, and archive status. In already scanned records, only the following will change: Name, row color, archive status.
Job deletion is performed by archiving it.
"Cancel" button. Cancels all changes in the job list.
"OK" button. Applies all changes in the job list.
You can change the order of jobs that will be displayed in the main production journal window and in the report.

Fields in the edit form:
Job Name. A convenient name for you
Job Type. Sets the purpose of the job to be calculated. Besides calculating area and perimeter, there are other job types

In the opened window, click the print button, then select the employee, job, and status. If necessary, you can add several jobs by clicking the "+" button.
Now the barcode can be used in the production journal.
