Job Parameter Selection

You can apply parameters of different types to a job in this workspace.

The Job Parameters table displays the selected parameter types for the selected job. The Job Parameter Attributes assistant shows the current and new values for each attribute of the specific parameter type.

When you create a job, Maconomy derives job parameters for the job 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 table of this workspace. If you change one or more parameter names, use the Change Job Parameters action 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.
