Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

30.2.1 These are the following standard JobCreators:

 

fkeyStandard - handles the most common numbering systems and supports different streamlining processes such as Template Jobs and Job Folder auto-creation.

 

NOTE: You can disallow the auto-creation of job folders by leaving the Create Folder box in the Create Job screen unchecked.

 

fkeyStandard2 - works exactly the same as fkeyStandard but it allows you to configure two sets of job number formats.

 

fkeyNextJobNumber - one part

 

fkeyJobNumber2 - two parts

 

fkeyJobNumber - three parts

 

30.2.2 There are the following specialized JobCreators with customized behavior:

 

fkeyNextJobNumberFY - a two-part key comprised of the 2 digit Current Fiscal Year from the Setup and a counter within the year

 

fkeyNextJobStageAnnnn_n - a two-part key that creates a sub-job number for existing jobs within a strict structure

 

fkeyBranchNNNN - a two-part key comprised of a branch code and a counter within the branch

 

fkeyJobFolder - a one-part key counter, which also forces the user to enter the Job Name, Latitude then creates a job folder whose name is the Counter Value and Job Name (e.g. 001 Kellyville Subdivision Survey)

 

NOTE: You can disallow the auto-creation of job folders by leaving the Create Folder box in the Create Job screen unchecked.

 

fkeyFolderStructure - creates Job folders with names consisting of a Job Number and a short Job Name and automatically groups them in hundreds. An example of this would be job folder ..\8100\8123 some job\ where Job Number is 8123, 'hundred' group is 8100 and Job Name is "some job". Works for Job Numbers starting at 1000.

 

fkeyJobFromTemplate - speeds up generation of a Job with predefined details based on a Template Job. Creates Job Id and Job Folder and then sets Job Details, Quotes, Register Items & Invoices copied from a master Template Job.

 

fkeyJobNumber4 - generates Job Numbers with independent counters for each prefix e.g. where you use the prefix 'C' for Civil, 'E' for Electrical & 'S' for Survey jobs, your E Series jobs can have a separate next counter value to your S Series jobs. Your next jobs could be C1001, E321 & S667 each based on independent counters

 

fkeyStandardBD - (Business Edition ONLY) works exactly as fkeyStandard but with options to choose the Branch and Department
