    • From the Main Menu, go into the “Job Tracking” tab.
    • Select “Job Track Stations”.
    • Click on the Create Station Button
    • The “Station” ID has to start with a letter and must have at least two characters; for example: “B2”, “BL2”, “BLK”.  If you only enter a one letter character; for example “B”, you will get an error message.
