In the New Name field, enter a descriptive name of up to 100 characters for the job. To include the job in a folder, enter the folder name followed by a backslash (
[\]) and then enter the job name.
Note: The new job must have a unique name. The job names in use
are displayed. If you enter an existing folder, be sure to enter it exactly as it
appears; otherwise the application will create a new folder.
Note: The application uses the job name as the name of the tab in
which the Manage Takeoffs screen is displayed. If the job is in a folder, the
application displays both the folder name and job name in the screen header
(underneath the tab) and in the tab's tooltip.
