When creating a new job within CAMduct, ESTduct, or Profilemaster the user is offered the chance to enter some information which can be helpful for file management and for displaying within selected reports. When creating a new job, by default, the standard Job Information dialogue box will appear.
This gives the user the chance to enter specific information regarding the job file.

Job Projects
The Job Projects area allows the user to set up further sub folders in which jobs can be saved. A sub folder is normally created for each of the users customers. It is then possible to create and store all of that customers jobs within one folder. This makes it much easier to find old jobs if they need to be re-created or added to. To create a new folder;

and the following dialogue box will appear. 
- In the empty text field type the name of the folder (this would normally be a customers name.) and click OK

These fields allow the user to attach additional information if necessary. These can also be applied on selected reports if required.

The Job Date field allows the user select a date that can be shown on selected reports if applied. This can be used to determine the date that the job is to be completed.
- Click on the drop-down menu and select a date from the calender displayed.

This option allows the user to attach a colour to a job. This in turn can be applied to reports and labels to enables easy identification of parts. This is particularly useful if jobs have been nested together.
