Creating jobs

To regularly save device projects in versiondog and enable comparisons, you need to create a job for the device.

The Job configuration area in the Jobs module of the AdminClient consists of general and device-specific sections.

  • The general sections are described under Job Configuration.
  • Device-specific settings for job configuration are provided under each device documentation. These settings may include establishing a connection to the device or entering login information.

Below you will find brief general instructions for creating a job.

  1. Start the AdminClient and open the Jobs module.
  2. Select the desired component in the Project tree for which the job should be created.
  3. Select Create button in the menu bar or drag and drop the component into the Jobs area.
  4. The upload type is set automatically, depending on the component type of the component for which the job is created. The upload types for the individual devices are listed in Supported components & devices (extended support). You can check and select the upload type in the corresponding dropdown menu.
  5. Configure the General, Notification, Upload and compare and Create a version automatically after job run sections. The Notification and Create a version automatically after job run sections are displayed only if the settings required for this have been made.
  6. The settings in the remaining sections of the Job configuration area depend on the selected upload type. They are described for the individual devices.
  7. Save the job and execute it once to test it.

You can implement further settings for jobs in the AdminClient in the Upload type specific configuration dialog and by using the INI files.
