The Job Ticket provides an overview of information on a job. The Job Ticket can be customized with specific fields to meet your organization’s needs.
Generally, a Job Ticket will contain the sections Job Info and Schedule Summary with the following fields.
The Job Info section contains:

Job Name - The name of the job
Job Type - The type of job. The list of Job Types in the drop down are tailored to your organization’s needs as the list is created during the implementation process.
