Job Parameter Derivation Fields Workspace

Use this workspace to control whether job parameters are rederived when you change the fields for a job.

Note that the settings in this workspace affect all of your jobs.

When you change a field in any job-related workspace, it might be appropriate to change the job's parameters as well. For this reason, Maconomy, by default, rederives job parameters every time that you make such a change.

Because this process can be time consuming, you have the option to turn off the Always Derive Job Parameters option in this workspace.

If you turn off this option, Maconomy only derives job parameters for a job once, when the job is created. You still have the option to rederive job parameters manually. For information about this, see the description of the Job Parameter Selection workspace.

However, in your Maconomy setup, you might have specified that some fields govern the use of certain job parameters. For example, a job parameter might depend on the value of the Popup 5 field. If you change the value in the pop-up field, you want the job parameter to change accordingly, without having to remember to rederive the job parameters manually. For this purpose, you can add job parameter derivation fields in the Job Parameter Derivation Fields sub-tab in this workspace.

If you deselect the Always Derive Job Parameters field in the Job Parameter Derivation Fields tab and add the Popup 5 field in the Job Parameter Derivation fields sub-tab, Maconomy rederives job parameters if, and only if, you change the Popup 5 field.
