Supplementary notes

• After you define jobs, you do not need to save the jobnet.

• When you place the mouse cursor on an icon in the icon list, the name of the icon is displayed. Check the icon name before you drag it.

• You can use jobs (custom jobs) that execute programs other than JP1/AJS3. Custom jobs include the default custom jobs that are provided by JP1/AJS3 as standard and the user custom jobs that users can register. For details about custom jobs, see 3. Adding Custom Jobs in the JP1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Linkage Guide.

• To change the attributes of a job defined in the map area, click the icon of the job in the map area or the job in the list area, and click Edit and then Properties.

• If a job defined in a jobnet is an event job, you can specify information to be inherited by the subsequent job or jobnet in the Detailed Definition - [event - job - icon - name] - [Passing Information] dialog box. You can display the Detailed Definition - [event - job - icon - name] - [Passing Information] dialog box by clicking the Pass Info button in the Detailed Definition - [icon - name] dialog box. The event - job - icon - name portion displays the name of the event job defined in the jobnet.

• When you double-click a job in the list area in the Jobnet Editor window, the Define Details - [icon-name] dialog box appears by default. If you want to change the operation that is performed when you double-click a job in the list area, use the Editor/Monitor page of the Preferences dialog box. For details about how to change the operation, see 11.5.11 Changing the operation performed when a unit in the list area is double-clicked.
