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 beginbegin.
  • (But can be set to Confirmed from the start, for example with in-house tasks)tasks.)
• They can have different statusesstatuses.
  • In process means that the job still needs to be donedone.
  • Done = completed. 
  • Awaiting corrections means that a job has been set to Done and then reopened for additional workwork.
  • Preliminary is good for assigning a job without actually showing it to the assignee yetyet. This is typically done when creating joblist automatically, to give the project manager a chance to review the assignments before users accept them. 
  • Cancelled means, well, cancelledcancelled.
• TheyJobs can have parent jobsjobs.
  • untilUntil the Parent job is Done, the child job is not open for workwork.
