FIELDS:

Shared Users Directory(registry entry - JPUDir): Indicates the location of the JPU.97 file.  Normally does not need to be changed. If your databases are only used by you and are not out on the network the Shared Users Directory and the Database List Directory are usually the same.  If you have a network version of the program the Shared Users Directory will usually be set to a directory on the server which all of the Job Plus users will have access to.  NOTE:  In a network version, every PC running Job Plus must have the same Shared Users Directory. 

Database List Directory(registry entry - JPDBListDir): Indicates the location of the JPDB97.mdb file.  This file contains the list of Job Plus databases.  Normally does not need to be changed. If your databases are only used by you and are not out on the network the Shared Users Directory and the Database List Directory are usually the same.  If you have a network version of the program the Database List Directory will usually be set to a directory on the server which all of the Job Plus users will have access to.

Handheld Portable Directory (registry entry - HandheldPocketDir):  For Job Portable users only.  Sets the folder on the Windows Mobile devices where the sync files will be located.

Auto Backup Every check box: If this box is checked your database will be backed up every x days.  Every time Job Plus is started, Job Plus checks if it needs to perform a backup (i.e. have the number of days since the last backup past) and if it does starts the backup procedure.  Therefore if no users login your database WILL NOT be backed up.   

Scada Interface For Equipment Meter Readings check box:  Enables cross referencing of Equipment to meter readings on the Equipment, Interface Tab.  NOTE:  This option simply enables cross referencing so that optional (purchased separately) interfaces can import runtimes/cycle counts from SCADA Systems. 

Refresh Calendar After X minutes of Inactivity: Set the number of minutes before the calendar is refreshed on network versions of the program.

Default Settings for Printing Work Orders: Set the default for what is included on work orders when printing them out.  Note: Once a work order has been printed by anyone it is flagged as being printed in the database. If you have the Only WO's that haven't been printed box checked it means that this program will only print out the work orders that have not been printed out by anyone else.  On the edit/close work order form, you can uncheck the WO has been printed if you need to reprint a work order.  Click the Set All WO's status to Not Printed to set all work orders in the database to not printed. 

Default Settings for Printing Invoices: Sets whether to print the Work Order Notes when printing Invoices.   

Auto Work Order Options: Sets the options for the Auto Work Order Scheduler.

Max # of WO's to Print or Generate (1-1000): When auto printing work orders, will first check that the number of Work Orders to be printed does not exceed this number before printing.

Email PDF's (WO's) That are Not Assigned to This Address: For all Work Orders that the Assigned to is blank, will email to this address.
