Creating joblists with joblist templates

A joblist in Plint may span hundreds of jobs that are to be completed sequentially. These lists can be created manually, but in most cases that would be way too tedious and time-consuming. This is where Joblist templates come in. They consist of a set of rules dictating:

• where to add jobs,
  • For example: once for each part or episode or repeated for all target languages 
• in which order they should be done
  • using the parent-child logic
• who should do it
  • using the assignment criteria
• and how the job should be done
  • such as settings for the online editor, or expected file types for an upload job.

When correctly set up, joblist templates can add a thousand jobs in a matter of seconds. Any number of Joblist templates can be created, but it’s a good idea to try to keep them as general as possible and use tags and other project data to trigger differences.
