The Job Tickets system is a system where you can define webforms using Integration Tool WEB and submit data posted on the webform to the tracking database. The JobTicket trigger of Integration Tool can then start a workflow whenever a ticket has been submitted and read the data submitted on the form using the JobTicket plugin.

When you configure a ticket using Integration Tool WEB you can configure the following:

Using the "Feedback" option of the "JobTicket" plugin you can send messages back to the webform on Integration Tool WEB.

When Integration Tool has finished processing a ticket, use the "Close Ticket" option of the "JobTicket" plugin to remove the submitted ticket and signal the webform on Integration Tool WEB that the ticket has been processed.

Typically the Job Ticket system can be used as follows :

- create a Job Ticket using "Ticket Management" on the "Admin" page of Integration Tool WEB (you will need to have Administrator priviliges to do this)

- create a new workflow in Integration Tool

- add the "JobTicket" trigger to the workflow and configure it to trigger on the Job Ticket you just created

- use the "JobTicket" plugin in the workflow to read data from ticket.

- use the "Feedback" option of the "JobTicket" plugin to send feedback back to the webform on Integration Tool WEB (only valid for "Interactive" tickets)

- use the "Send File" option of the "JobTicket" plugin to make a file available on the webform on Integration Tool WEB. Multiple files can be "send" to the webform using this option. These files can then be downloaded from the webform. Once a file is downloaded it will be automatically removed from the "available files" list.

- when the workflow is finished use the "Close Ticket" option of the "JobTicket" plugin to remove the submitted ticket and signal the webform of Integration Tool WEB that Integration Tool has finished processing the ticket. It's recommended to use the "Feedback" option of the "JobTicket" plugin to send a last message to the webform on Integration Tool WEB

To submit a ticket to Integration Tool: login to Integration Tool WEB, select the ticket on the "Job Tickets" page. Enter the required data on the webform and click "Submit".

Listbox, Dropdownlist and Checkboxlist variables can contain more then one value the user can select. The configuration of these variables uses the following format:

{option}{value}{0/1}

{option} is the text that is displayed in the listbox/dropdownlist
{value} is the value that is returned when the item is selected
{0/1} 0=item is not selected default, 1=item is selected default

Example:
{Banana}{1}{0}
{Orange}{2}{1}
{Peach}{3}{0}

NOTE: when using the Dropdownlist only one item can be configured to be selected default!

It's also possible to read the item values from a database table. This table must exist in the WEB database and must be configured as follows:

LoadFromTable:tablename:columnname

tablename is the name of the database table
columnname is the name of the column to read the data from (each row is one item and the format is the same as described earlier, empty rows are ignored).

Example:
LoadFromTable:tblItemList:colFruit
