Job Parameter Selection Single Dialogs Workspace

Use this workspace to specify which job parameter attribute values to apply to a given job.

The Job Parameter Selection tab displays information about the job in question, and the Job Parameters sub-tab displays one line for each job parameter type that is available. Each of these lines specifies which job parameter—that is, which attributes and assigned values—Maconomy should apply to the job.

When you create a job, Maconomy derives job parameters for the job in question based on the setup in the Job Parameter Selection Rules workspace. This applies to the assigned selection criteria specifications and the specified priorities of the relevant job parameter selection rules. However, you can manually change the job parameters that Maconomy displays in the New Parameter Name field in the Job Parameters sub-tab of this workspace. If you change one or more parameter names, use the Change Job Parameters action in the Action menu to make the new parameters effective for that job.

When you change a job information field (such as the job name), Maconomy automatically rederives the job parameters according to the setup in the Job Parameter Selection Rules workspace. However, in the Job Parameter Derivation Fields workspace, you can specify that Maconomy should only rederive job parameters when certain fields are changed, such as the job name or a job pop-up. Or, for performance reasons, you can specify that Maconomy should never rederive job parameters. In this case, you would rederive the job parameters manually, if needed, using the Rederive Job Parameters action in this workspace.
