04. Setting Up a New Job

When you create a new job, you have a choice of where you store it. On the left side of the Job File screen, notice the Folder Lists: HVAC, Plumbing, Templates, and Sample Jobs.

NOTE: You can add Folders by selecting New Folder under the File pull-down menu. This is also where you delete and rename folders.

When you add a new job, make sure the folder you want to store the job under is selected.
