Customization

The system comes set up with several default categories. You can add more as you see fit. See +shelp +jobs.

If you want an archive of staff jobs, create a Staff Job Notices BBS.

You can also configure which job fields are displayed in the main job lists. Possible fields include: Category, DueDate, Handler, Number, Overdue (a simpler version of due date that only shows the general due condition), Status, Submitter, Title. The format is in the FIELDS attribute on the Jobs database. List the fields you want in the form

fieldname:title:length

For example:

DueDate:Due:5 this will show the DueDate field with a title “Due” and pad/limit it to 5 characters in length

Functions

**CREATE_JOB(,,<text>,<submitter DB#>)** - Creates a new staff job.</text>

For example: create_job(BG,BG Submittal,%N has submitted a background.,%#)

NOTE: This will use register ‘j’ to store the job number. You can access that with %qj after calling the create_job function.

FIND_JOB(<job#>) - Returns the category object number and attribute number of the specified job.
