Create a Child Job
A Child Job is one that must be completed before the Parent Job can be completed.
Use the Jobs - Detailed view to identify Parent/Child Jobs
| Parent Job Id Value |
Meaning |
| Empty |
Neither a parent or a child |
| Same as own Job Id |
This is a parent Job |
| Different to own Job Id |
This is a child Job |
To create a Child Job, open one of the following Data Views from the tree view
in the main window:
- Jobs - Detailed
- Jobs - Summary
- Jobs - Operator Activity
Highlight a Job that you wish to become a Parent in the Data View, then do
one of the following:
- File menu, Create Child Job
- Right click on the Job then select Create Child Job
- Press F7
You can also create a Child Job whenever you are on the Job window, by clicking
the "Save and create Child Job" button. NB, it is not possible to
have 'grandchild' Jobs, i.e. if a Job is already a Child of another Job, it
cannot become a Parent.
