JobMaker v10 Quick-Start Guide

FIRST - Be sure and Bookmark this page for future reference.

There are two ways to access JobMaker. If a script and database is NOT running, open JobMaker directly from the main SpitFire® window. Select the "Jobs" tab as shown above.

Select "JobMaker" from the drop-down window as shown above.

If a script and database is already running, JobMaker can only be accessed from the desktop icon as shown above.

This will open the "JobMaker Instance 1" screen as shown above.

Select the time the job is to start by highlighting it as shown on the above screen.

In order to set up a schedule, a description needs to be typed in as shown above. The name will be displayed with the start time on the bottom of the campaign.

Select the white background as shown in the screen above and left-double-click on it to open the "Schedule Job" window.

"Schedule Job" will be displayed as shown above.

ooooooooo

Select the "Start" time that the job is to start. The up and down arrows will change the time. The "End" time also needs to be selected, as this is the time the job will end.

Next, open the "Script" folder by clicking on the icon next to that line.

The "Script" folder will display all the available scripts listed. Select the script that will be used in the job.

Open the folder you wish to access by double-clicking on it.

A script name with a "vbs" extension needs to be selected as shown above.

Double-click on it, or highlight it with a single click and hit "Open" as shown above.

Next, select the "List" to be called by clicking on the folder next to that line.

Select the database to be used in the schedule.

Then, hit "Open" as shown above.

This will return to the "Schedule Job" window. "Start Type" will default to "Auto Start."

"Job Type" will default to "Answer." This is only for inbound calls. To change the schedule to outbound, select the "Dial" option.

The Schedule is now ready. The final step is to select the "Ok" button as shown above.

This will bring the main "JobMaker" window back up.

There will be a box inside a blue and red stripe, in which you will see "Dial" and the name of the schedule.

The days that have been scheduled will be in bold. If you highlight it, it will show a red circle.

To duplicate a schedule over a number of days, select "Weekly" from the tabs on the side as shown above.

This will open up a weekly schedule as shown above.

Select the schedule that will be duplicated as shown above. It will show a blue bar on the top of the scheduled event.

Place the mouse on the blue bar so that cursor will change to an up and down arrow as shown above. Hold down the left mouse button and drag the arrow over to the next column.

This will duplicate the schedule in the same time slot on the next day. This step can be repeated for each day you wish to schedule.

Let's take a look now at some of the other useful features of JobMaker. The "Planner" tab gives a grid of the scheduled events.

The "Monthly" tab will display a calendar of scheduled events.

The "Yearly" tab displays the year as shown above.

The last tab on the scheduler is "To Do." This is a convenient To-Do list which you can use to make notes on tasks and projects

To exit out of "JobMaker," hit the red "X" as shown above.

ooooooooooooooo

To activate the schedule, hit the "Off" button on the bottom right-hand side of the window. The selection will change from "Off" to "On."

The schedule will be displayed on the bottom along with the start time of the event. When the job is activated, the stop time will be displayed. Schedules that are set for the next day will not be displayed till 12:00AM the next day. The scheduler will not activate if the job "instance" is not open.

CONGRATULATIONS! Your schedule is now activated.
