Interface functionality: managing import and export jobs
When you have opened the Import job manager or Export job manager (see Accessing the job managers and editors), you can manage the concerning import or export jobs listed.
Sort the list
You can sort the list by clicking the column header you want to sort on. Click the same column header again to reverse the sort order (ascending versus descending).
Creating a new import or export job
Depending on the job manager that you have opened, you can start a new job in the appropriate editor in the following ways:
• | choose File > New in the menu bar; |
• | right-click anywhere in the list and choose New in the pop-up menu; |
• | Click the button for creating a new job: |
Moving and copying
Select one or more (Ctrl- or Shift-click) jobs, right-click the selection and choose Cut (Ctrl+X) from the pop-up menu if you want to move the selected jobs, or choose Copy (Ctrl+C) if you want to copy the selected files. If you want to paste the cut or copied files in the same folder or elsewhere, then select the desired work folder, right-click the list of jobs in it (or the empty list) and choose Paste (Ctrl+V) in the pop-up menu.
Create documentation
To create documentation for a selected job, choose File > Create documentation, or click the button for it:
A Documentation window will be opened with a detailed description of the current job (all its properties and some file metadata).
The overview is nicely laid out, but if you rather have the bare XML view, you can switch to it through the View menu.
In either view you can print the file via the menu or the button, or save it as XML file.
You may also select the text, or part of it, with the mouse cursor, and copy (Ctrl+C) and paste it (Ctrl+V) in any text editor document.
Deleting import or export jobs
Select one or more (Ctrl- or Shift-click) jobs that you want to delete, and either choose Edit > Delete (Del), right-click the selection and choose Delete in the pop-up menu, or click the button for it:
Deletion of files is currently permanent: you cannot restore deleted files from Windows' recycle bin.
