The Find Job Tickets dialog box opens, prompting you to enter selections for finding jobs.
2 Choose a find option from the pop-up menu (e.g., client) then enter a find value (e.g., client number).
Jobs can be selected by client, AE/team, and one of the traffic names (e.g., creative director, account supervisor, etc.). This option lets you find your own jobs (that is, if you’re initials were entered into a job’s assigned to fields), for example, or all of the jobs for one client. To find all jobs, enter the find value as “ALL”.
3 Select a status then enter a range of status codes, then click Find.
Jobs are sorted by client then by job number, making it easy to see the current status of specific jobs. Each job’s production status (or billing status, depending on the option you chose) and status note can be easily updated by entering the new status and note then pressing Tab. The status of many jobs can be entered at the same time.
Jobs can be closed by entering the default closed status code. If the default closed status is entered, the job’s Closed checkbox will be checked when these changes are saved.
Jobs can be selected by production or billing status, and any range of status codes. This option lets you find only open jobs, for instance.

(Rush jobs will appear at the top of the list if you chose that option in the Find Jobs dialog box)..
