The job template’s fields

There are four fields in the p4 jobspec form. These fields define the template for all Helix Server jobs stored on your server.

Field / Field Type Meaning

Fields:

A list of fields to be included in each job.

Each field consists of an ID#, a name, a datatype, a length, and a setting.

Field names must not contain spaces.

Values:

A list of fields whose datatype is select.

For each select field, you must add a line containing the field’s name, a space, and its list of acceptable values, separated by slashes.

Presets:

A list of fields and their default values.

Values can be either literal strings or variables supported by Helix Server.

Comments:
