Job stream qualifiers

You can use job stream qualifiers to select job streams that fall under specific categories which you can customize.

Job stream qualifiers are attributes of job streams and you can use the + or ~ symbol to include or exclude a specific set of job streams. If the job qualifier is prefixed with +, then all job streams with that specific attribute are selected and if the job stream qualifier is prefixed ~, then all job streams with that specific attribute are excluded. The attributes that you can use as a job stream qualifier are described below.
