# The Job Submission Form The submit form is the main way to run jobs on the cluster. Open it from **Submit Job** in the navbar. Every field maps directly to an sbatch option — PowerPortal builds the submission for you. ## Required fields
FieldWhat it sets
**Job name**A label for your job. Appears in the Jobs page and in Slurm output.
**Partition**The queue to submit to. Determines available nodes, time limits, and which accounts and QOS you can use. Select this first — other fields update based on your choice.
**CPUs per task**Number of CPU cores per task. For single-task jobs this is your total core count.
**Memory (GB)**RAM per node in gigabytes.
**Time limit**Maximum wall-clock time in `HH:MM:SS` or `D-HH:MM:SS` format. The job is killed when this limit is reached.
**Job script**The shell commands to run. You do not need a shebang — PowerPortal adds `#!/bin/bash` and `source ~/.bashrc` automatically so `module load` works.
## Optional fields
FieldWhat it sets
**Account**Slurm account to charge. Defaults to your primary account if left blank.
**QOS**Quality of service — controls priority and limits. Only QOS allowed for the selected partition are shown.
**Nodes**Number of nodes to allocate.
**Node list**Request specific nodes by name (comma-separated). Leave blank to let Slurm choose.
**Exclude nodes**Nodes to avoid. Useful if a node is known to be problematic.
**Constraints**Node feature requirements (e.g. a specific CPU generation). Multiple constraints are ANDed.
**Tasks**Total number of MPI tasks. Leave blank for non-MPI jobs.
**Tasks per node**MPI tasks per node. Leave blank for non-MPI jobs.
**Array**Job array specification, e.g. `1-100` or `0-9%5`. See the Job Arrays page.
**Output file**Path for stdout. Defaults to `slurm-%j.out` in your working directory.
**Error file**Path for stderr. Defaults to `slurm-%j.err` in your working directory (a separate file from stdout, not the same file).
**Working directory**Directory the job runs from. Defaults to your home directory. Use absolute paths in your script if your input files are elsewhere.
**Dependency**Wait for other jobs before starting, e.g. `afterany:12345`. Separate multiple jobs with `:`, e.g. `afterany:101:102:103`.
**Notify email**Email address to notify about job events. Defaults to none.
**Notify on**Which events trigger a notification email — Begin, End, Fail, Requeue, Time limit / 90% / 80% / 50% reached, Stage out, Invalid dependency, Array tasks, or All. Requires Notify email to be set.
**GPU fields**GPU count and type appear only when you select a GPU-enabled partition.
## Submitting Click **Submit Job**. On success, PowerPortal redirects you to the Jobs page after 2 seconds where your new job appears at the top of the list. ## Saving as a template Click **Save as template** before submitting to store the current configuration for reuse. See the Templates chapter for details.
