# Job Settings Tab

The Job Settings Tab of the powerJobs Processor Settings Dialog displays the [Settings](<jobprocessor/jobs:job settings>) for the selected job and allows to edit them.<br>
The settings are retrieved and stored directly in the according [job](<jobprocessor/jobs:Jobs>) file and are therefore Vault independent.

When a job that declares settings is selected, the table displays the following information for each setting:

- Name
- Settings current Value
- Description

#### Editing Settings
The values of settings can be edited by selecting a job from the dropdown list and clicking the **Edit** button.\
After clicking the button, the settings in the **Value** column are editable. A setting Name is not editable.

Values are displayed based on the type of the [underlying PowerShell variables](<jobprocessor/jobs:job settings>):
- **Switch** settings allow to enable or disable particular job settings by clicking the Checkbox.
- **Text** settings allow to specify setting values as string contents.
- **Powershell** settings allow experienced users to specify settings as Powershell syntax which are evaluated as the job runs. Powershell settings are highlighted as underlined and italic in the dialog.

:::{admonition} Warning
:class: warning

Multi-Line **Text settings** are currently not supported by the powerJobs Settings Dialog!<br>
This includes also setting specifications in the form of PowerShell line-feeds (`` `r`n ``, `` `n ``).
:::

While the settings are edited, the job type can not be changed and jobs can not be submitted using the **Submit Job** button.\
The settings must either be saved using the **Apply** button or discarded with the **Cancel** button.
Pressing **Apply** writes the values verbatim to the [settings section](<jobprocessor/jobs:job settings>) in the Job.\
The **Cancel** button discards the current changes and revert all values back to the original values.

The screenshot aboves demonstrates a fictive custom job which creates a PDF and uploads the file to the company's ERP system. The job may have been a copy of the _Sample.CreatePDF_ and declares additional variables which allow to steer the behavior of the job towards the upload to the ERP system.
