Job File

What we see above is what the job file looks like. We can broadly divide it into three main divisions, one which contains the information about the job, the second division is where the cost and billing information is to be entered and the third division is for attaching files related to the Job and also to maintain version history of the Job.

We will begin with a step by step tutorial for the first part of the job file -
