====== Job Designer ======
The eBIss Job Designer serves as an editor for the process definition. It is presented in the Definition tab when creating or editing jobs.
It is divided into three areas:
- Job-step selection with search (left)
- JobDesigner Workspace (right)
- Element properties (bottom)
===== Job-step selection with search =====
In the left-hand section, a search text field and an accordion menu are provided for finding the available job-step objects.

The sections can be opened using the {{images:down_bg_plain.png?nolink}}-button. The search is performed by pressing the Enter key or by clicking the {{images:eye.png?nolink}}-button.
{{:images:sign_warning.png?nolink|}}**Note:** The scope of the sections or job-step objects can differ in your installation if there are one or more specific job step components in your project.
===== Job Designer Workspace =====
You can drag and drop selected job step objects to the right of the Definition tab.

==== Connect Job-Step ====
Each Job-Step object has various input and output linking points and, in addition, a separate signature.
* incoming link points are marked in blue
* outgoing link points are marked green
{{:images:sign_warning.png?nolink|}}**Note**: Whether a job step object can be linked to another is depending on whether the signatures of the outgoing is compatible with the incoming link. Link points with non-matching signatures can not be concatenated.

In the right section there is a submenu with the following buttons and their properties:
