Jobs re-order?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 40

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to re-order job tasks within a job card? The walkthrough says you can "move up or move down" but there isnt the option for me?

Please help!

    Preferential sorting order is on the job task no. Field. You could alter the value to alter the order. Do you have the link for the remark around moving up and down?

    I closed it down and cannot find it now it was one of the business central guides on jobs.

    This is my issue... so my job tasks are numbered in order, however it goes 1, 10,11,12 then 2?! I just want them to show in number order. The only options I have in that field are "Filter" "Clear Filter" and "Whats this"

    Not to worry. I see the issue.

    This is to do with how that data type is stored. In general fields in the system which mentioned "No." in their title can handle alphanumeric content so ABC100 as an example. This means the sorting behaviour is not like an integer so, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10.

    It is a good idea to look at the Cronus data to see how a job is setup there. If I am setting up a job task to demo I use the logic 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 etc. This means I have some space for extra lines that I want to appear in the correct order so, if I later add 101 as a follow on task to 100 it flows correctly.
