Configuration:
This selection launches the multi-tabbed configuration
dialog. There are three pages, 'General', 'Jobs', and 'DB
Mapping'. The 'General' page options are not currently
implemented. They are primarily convenience options and will
be available in a future release. The 'Jobs' option is the
important one since with it you can configure two default options
available for defining and running jobs. The one available
during job definition is 'Default Folder Scan Mode", which can be
set to either 'Walk' or 'List'. This is only the default
option when the Job Definition dialog is started and can be
changed in the dialog. The 'Default Run Mode' can also be
set here, and again this is only the default and can be changed
when a job is selected for running. The two modes available
are 'Sequence' and 'Batch' and work as explained for the 'Run"
main menu sub menu.
The configuration page 'DB Mapping' is not yet implemented, but
the page explains the feature that will be implemented in a future
release.
Jobs:
This selection launches the 'Job Definition' dialog. With
this dialog you can define jobs to run giving each your selection
of files to include and providing each with a unique identifier
and a job type. As is true elsewhere in the application, all
controls in this dialog have clear tool tips which can be used to
understand the features that they control.
When you click the "Add Files' button, the usual file system
navigator appears and allowes you to select any number or sequence
of files or folders using the mouse with or without the CTRL and
SHIFT keys (See the Files menu help tab for details). When you
select a folder, only its path is included in the file list but
all files in it, scanned according to the 'Scan Mode' you select
before launching the navigator, will be present in the file
list. When the job is run, the files and folders in it will
be processed in the order they appear in in the list.
