Provide a name for the job.

The "Configuration" dropdown allows you to select a job to inherit. You can think of this job as a template for the job you are about to create. See Job Inheritance for more details on this.

For this first example, you can keep CommandJob, which is selected by default.

The third drop-down allows you to select the repository and group a given job will be part of. In a new system, only "Default" is available. The Administrator can create additional repositories and groups.

Click "Create" to create the job.
