Introduction
Data Definitions and Triggers offer the flexibility of storing and printing additional information.
The following procedure provides instructions for automating a process to prompt for required information at various stages of a job in progress.
Defining job data collection fields is a two-step process:
- Setting up the data collection fields (the information for which you get prompted);
- Defining the triggers that generate the prompts.
Before you begin, you MUST have already completed the procedure as outlined in the Defining Job Data Definitions document.
If the prompt for required information is associated with a lite-up, you must:
- Ensure that the lite-up exists, and if not, then set it up.
- Be aware of the num and bit associated with the lite-up.
You will be required to enter this information during the process. Instructions for retrieving these numbers are outlined later in this document.
