Inserting Documentation Links in Job Titles

This feature was introduced with JobScheduler release <span style="color:forestgreen">1.3.12.1296</span>

Links can be built into job titles.
These are mainly intended to be used to provide a convenient link to job documentation.
The links can be added in JOE (JobScheduler Object Editor) as shown in the screenshot below, which shows a simple HTTP link:

...

• The URL has to start with "http://", "https://" or "www.".
• The URL has to end with a space or the title itself has to end with the URL.
• Punctuation marks are allowed after an URL.
• More than one link is possible.

...

Links can also be placed in "a" tags as shown in the following examples:

Example 1

Open JOE and type the following text in the title field of a job. (See also the screenshot to the right):

 See &lt;a href="<nowiki>http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/jobscheduler/index.php</nowiki>"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; for more information and also www.sos-berlin.com.

...

JOC will now show the following title for the job:
"See here for more information and also www.sos-berlin.com."

Example 2 - Links to documentation within the scheduler_data directory

JOC knows a virtual directory ./scheduler_data which points to the working directory of the JobScheduler.
This is the directory which contains the config, jobs, logs, etc. directories.
So, when a link in the job title is defined with ./jobs/CCTS/test1.html, JOC will look for the file at the address ./scheduler_data/jobs/CCTS/test1.html. In a standard JobScheduler installation on Windows systems this would be C://

Example:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
    <job title="test &lt;a href=&quot;./scheduler_data/jobs/CCTS/test1.html&quot;&gt;docu&lt;/a&gt;" stop_on_error="yes" order="no">
    <script language="shell"><![CDATA[
         env # "Print the environment"
    ]]></script>
 </job>
