Data in this form will normally be set up and maintained by IT staff with responsibility for the Callista System.

Output options (destinations) can be set up in this form for the Job Output carried across from the Maintain Job Details (JBSF4110) form, and displayed in this block as the context record, identified by Output Number.

Job Output Option block

Depending on the nature of the output file, destinations of different types (printer, fax and/or email) can be specified and maintained for the Job Output identified by number in the Job Output block. A 'set' of destination types - printer, fax, and email shown for one destination number - is a single destination record. Several destinations of the same type (e.g. several printer destinations) can be recorded as separate options.

Where an option is not in effect for a printer destination, the end-user's preferred printer is inserted as the default at request time, if this has been set up in the Maintain Person Preference (SECF0066) form.

Note that the facility to select a fax output destination is under development at present.
