Database property names for jobs

Some messages about jobs refer to job properties by their database names, which begin with Job. You can use the database property names for job properties in symbol formulas that you specify for RICOH ProcessDirector external programs. You can also specify symbol formulas for job properties in RICOH ProcessDirector control files.

Some of the values that you see in lists in the user interface are not the same as the values that RICOH ProcessDirector uses internally. When you make some requests using web services or set values using an overrides file, you must use the internal value. The Internal values column lists the internal values for those properties.

In the Editable column:

  • Yes means that you can change the value after the job has been submitted.
  • No means that you cannot change the value.

In the Job ticket column:

  • Yes means that the property can be set from one or more values in the job ticket that is used to submit the job.
  • No means that the property cannot be set from values in the job ticket.
