How To : Set up Job Features
Job Features are user definable fields for a Job. Per Company 20 features can be defined in the Advanced Job Management Setup by selecting them from the Job Features list. The Setup also determines the sequence in which the Job Features are used.
Per Job the value of the feature can be selected from a predefined list or as free entry text. Job Features can be set from the Job Header, the Job Budget line and the Job Planning line. The Job Feature values are stored as a Job Feature Set ID and copied along in the various transactions.
