4.1 Configuring the Job Submit form

You can customize the user interface and Job Submit logic by configuring the Job Submit form:

Building the Job Submit form is similar to building all other Viewpoint forms, all sharing the common requirement of modification to the <pages>, <components>, and <queue> elements.

To configure the job submit form

  1. Open the jobs.xml file located in the Viewpoint home directory.
  2. Give users permission to save and load form values on the job submit page. See Setting permissions. If the user has the appropriate permissions, the Save and Load links appear automatically on the Submit Job page.
    1. Give users the job.form.create permission to allow them to save form values.
    2. Give users the job.form.read permission to allow them to load form values.
    3. Give users the job.form.readall permission to allow them to read all job forms.
  3. Configure the Job Submit request element. See Configuring the request element for the Job Submit form.
  4. Configure the Job Submit page to allow for multiple job submission. See Enabling submitting multiple jobs.
