Jobs and joblists

Plint revolves around "things that need to be done". A thing that needs to be done is called a Job in Plint. Jobs can be completed in different ways (from just clicking "Done" to changing status after using the online editor to translate a feature film), but they all have the following in common:

Jobs are always linked to projects.
- A collection of jobs linked to a project is called a joblist.
They need to be confirmed by the assignee in order for work to begin.
- (But can be set to Confirmed from the start, for example with in-house tasks.)
They can have different statuses.
- In process means that the job still needs to be done.
- Done = completed.
- Awaiting corrections means that a job has been set to Done and then reopened for additional work.
- Preliminary is good for assigning a job without actually showing it to the assignee yet. This is typically done when creating joblists automatically, in order to give the project manager a chance to review the assignments before users accept them.
- Cancelled means, well, cancelled.
Jobs can have parent jobs.
- Until the Parent job is Done, the child job is not open for work.
