Adding custom text

The Options can also determine the descriptive text that appears at the top (title) and below the custom fields. The descriptive text should be limited to as many lines as can fit below the fields. The syntax for the title is:

options_title = "<title>"

The syntax for the descriptive text is:

options_description<int> = "<descriptive_text>"

The first line of descriptive text uses the word options_description while all subsequent lines are appended with succeeding integers fstarting with 1.

This example applies to the proto_ftp_copy_from job:

options_title = "FTP - Retrieve a file from a remote node"
options_description = "This job will connect to the specified remote node and use FTP "
options_description1 = "to retrieve the specified file. The username and password are "
options_description2 = "only required if the remote server needs them."
