Job Tracker Professional — Corporate Edition

Job Tracker Professional — New Release 5.1.12 (Corporate Edition)

Release note • Published: 2015-01-01 • Copyright © 2015 Sherwin Business Systems Ltd

The latest New Release version 5.1.12 is available to all corporate edition customers and includes several improvements to the Search Jobs screen.

What’s new

  • Search results are now presented in pages instead of one long list.
  • You can specify the number of records per page (page size) and move back/forward between pages or jump directly to any page.
  • As before, results can be exported to Excel, ordered ascending/descending, and displayed in different presentation formats.
  • The revised layout now refreshes instantly when you use the up/down buttons to choose your preferred style—no need to re‑click Search.

How to search

  1. Enter your criteria in Search For (top‑left).
  2. In Order by, choose how to sort results (e.g., Address, Job Number, or Name). Tick/untick Ascending to suit.
  3. Set the Page Size (number of records per page). You can adjust this before or after you click Search. To change it later, type a new number in Page Size and press Enter (or click Search).

Choosing a results format

You can change the presentation of results with 10 different format options. Either type the format number or use the up/down arrow keys to cycle through available formats. Once you have the view you want, you can Export to Excel with one click.

Resizing columns

Adjust column widths to your preferences: hover over the line between column headings until a double‑headed arrow appears, then drag to resize. (The same principle applies in Excel.)

Accessing a specific record

Once the results are on screen, open a job by double‑clicking the record or by highlighting it and clicking Load Job.

Different presentation formats and paging details

Why it matters: These changes make it faster to view, navigate, and export job records so you can run an efficient business.
