Adding Custom Data Fields in Job Management

Job Management accommodates custom data fields to provide extremely flexible ways of reporting data and presenting different types of information beyond job defaults.

To define and use custom data fields in jobs, do the following:

1. In the upper left corner of the Settings icon > General Settings > Custom Fields page, open the Type menu and select the Jobs custom data type.
2. Click New.
3. In the Create Custom Field dialog box, select the type (Date, Number, or String), and enter the name for the new data field.
4. To create more than one field, click Save. The new field is added to the table in the background. You can then enter another new field.
5. When finished, click Save & Close.
   Custom fields can be displayed on the Scheduled Jobs page (Config Management > Job Management > Scheduled Jobs).
6. Move the mouse over any column in the table, and click the down arrow at the right end of the column heading.
7. In the drop-down menu, hover over Columns.
8. In the Columns submenu, check the custom field columns you want to appear in the table. The table will update to display the new column of data.
