<p> Job fields are defined by the <a href="jobfields.html">jobspec</a>, which
can be modified for your site's specific purposes. The default P4Web job fields
are:
<table width="66%" border="1" cellpadding="1">
<tr>
<td><b>Field</b></td>
<td><b>Description</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>Job</b></td>
<td>The name of the job. Whitespace is not allowed. </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>Status</b></td>
<td>The default options are <i>open, closed,</i> or <i>suspended</i>.
<ul>
<li> <i>open</i>: a job that has not yet been completed. </li>
<li> <i>closed</i>: a job that has been completed. </li>
<li> <i>suspended</i>: an open job that is not currently being worked
on. </li>
</ul>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>User</b></td>
<td>This field is automatically populated with the username of the person
who created the job, but you can edit it. </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>Date</b></td>
<td>The date and time that the job was created. </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>Description</b></td>
<td>Optional information that can be used to describe this job. Usually a
written description of the problem that is meant to be fixed. It's a good
idea to make the first line of a job particularly meaningful, because the
first line can be viewed in the Jobs list and can be used for quick reference.
