Assign specifications to a job

Job specifications represent one or more specifications or setpoints that are referenced during a job. Specifications are organized within global specification groups. You can add a specification to the job or to a step within the job. You must create a global set of specifications in the Global Specifications module before adding a specification. For more information on specifications, see Global specifications.

To edit a specification you must have Specification access level user privilege greater than or equal to a specification.
