# Job specifications: track changelists

This chapter explains how an adminstrator of P4 Server can modify the P4 Server job template with the p4 jobspec command. The P4 Server jobs feature enables users to link changelists to enhancement requests, problem reports, and other user-defined tasks. The default jobs template has five fields for tracking jobs. These fields are sufficient for small-scale operations. However, if the projects managed by P4 Server are large, the information stored in these fields might be insufficient.

Improper modifications to the P4 Server job template can lead to corruption of your server’s database. To learn more, see Caveats, warnings, and recommendations.

The P4 P4 DTG (P4 Defect Tracking Gateway) provides a way to integrate third-party defect tracking tools with P4 Server. To learn more, see Third-party defect tracking systems.

Non-administrators use the `p4 job` command, which is explained in the P4 CLI Documentation.
