Allocating a Job

A job is not visible in a user's Worklist until a Worker Group (and optionally an individual Worker) has been specified, and the job has been set to the Allocated status.

Jobs can be allocated when they are being created (see Creating Jobs) or when they are have a status of Proposed.

ClosedAllocate a Proposed Job

  2. Ensure a Worker is selected in the Job Panel.
  3. Click .
  4. Confirm the allocation by clicking .

Revoking a Job

Allocated, Prepared, or Downloaded jobs can be revoked by the job planner.

Revoking a job stops its progress and removes it from the current user's Worklist because its status is forced back to Planned. This means that any edits that the current user has made can not then be submitted.

If notifications have been turned on by the 1Spatial Management Suite administrator, the user will receive an email to tell them that the job has been revoked.

Associating Parent Jobs

In 1Workflow mode, child jobs are automatically created when a job fails validation or becomes conflicted. These jobs will automatically have their parent job ID set.

When using 1Plan in standalone mode, you can manually specify the parent job ID in the Parent ID field when you create or edit a job extent.
