File|Open|Open Job

Open Job opens an existing job file. The job file is an ASCII file containing the specifications created by the WinCross interface.

A job file requires a *.job extension. Job files automatically appear in the dialog box when you choose File|Open |Open Job and navigate to the folder containing the desired *.job file. WinCross supports long-character filenames.

From Local Sources:

Opens your job file from a local or network folder of your choice.
You can choose from the Recent folders dropdown list to locate a desired folder.
Or, select the Drive, Directory and folder that contains the desired job file.
When you select a File type from the dropdown list, only those file types in the selected folder are displayed, with the exception of ASCII fixed (*) which displays all file types.
If you want to manually enter a filename, click anywhere within the File name: field and type the name. You will need to include the full filepath if the job file resides in a folder other than that displayed.

Opens your job file from our TAG Drive. TAG Drive is a cloud-based file storage feature of the TAG Client Portal and allows you to open and save files that are accessible from anywhere. This can be especially helpful if you are traveling or working from home and do not have access to your network drives from outside of the office.

From the menus on the TAG Drive tab, you can:

Groups

Rename Group - lets you rename the selected TAG Drive group by entering a new group name.
Delete Group - lets you delete the selected TAG Drive group. The projects under that group are moved to the Ungrouped Projects group.

Projects

Add New Project - lets you create a new project for TAG Drive that is accessible from anywhere. Job, data and report files can then be saved to the new project.
Add Files to Project - lets you browse to a location and copy files to the selected TAG Drive project.
Rename Project - lets you rename the selected TAG Drive project by entering a new project name.
Delete Project - lets you delete the selected TAG Drive project. Delete Project will delete all files for that project. The project and its files will no longer be available to other users with whom the project has been shared.

Files

Add Files to Project - lets you browse to a location and copy files to the selected TAG Drive project.
Rename File - lets you rename the selected TAG Drive file by entering a new file name.
Delete File - lets you delete existing TAG Drive files from the selected project. The files will no longer be available to other users with whom that project has been shared.

Refresh Lists - refreshes the list of TAG Drive Project groups/Projects/Files.

Having navigated to the desired folder containing your *.job file, you can single-click any file shown to display it in the File name: field, then select Open (or double-click on a filename).

It is best to have all the files related to a single job within the same folder. When you open a job file, its folder becomes the current folder. This can cause confusion and require extra effort if you have stored other files related to the same job in multiple folders.

Note: As an alternative to File|Open|Open Job, you can drag a job file (*.job) from another location and drop it in WinCross. WinCross will open the job file and launch View|Job File to display the open job file.

When you choose File from the Main menu, up to four of the most recent job files are displayed at the bottom of the File Menu (in an MRU, or Most Recently Used, list). After four job files are displayed, up to four data files are displayed. You can click on any of the displayed files to open them.

** This feature is not available in WinCross Runtime version.
