The checklist, tasks, files, front matter, comments, job details and release settings cards on the page of a production job.

Permission needed

Changed in
1.9.7

When you open a job from the board, the header shows the title, submission number, type and journal of the work, the production lead, the planned release date and the acceptance date. Without the production permission, you can only view the page, and a note says so. When the production lead's account was closed, the Account closed label appears next to the name, and the production coordinators receive the notifications meant for the lead.

Rules of the screen

  • On a released or cancelled job, tasks and settings cannot be changed. Reopen the job to change them.
  • You cannot upload files to a cancelled job.
  • The assignee of a task can change the status and the note of their own task, even without the production permission.
  • While a file is being scanned for viruses, the page refreshes itself every few seconds.

The steps are in Planning a Job, Managing Tasks, Uploading Files and Sharing Proofs, Filling in the Release Settings and Releasing a Work.
