Modifying Job List Columns

Jobs are displayed in the Jobs list, which provides basic information on each job in several columns.

You can modify the layout of the Jobs list. The following options are available:

• Show and hide columns. The following columns are shown by default: Name, Thumbnail, Message, Created at, Progress, and State. The Name column is mandatory and cannot be hidden, and is always shown as the first column one the left side.

  n The Cancel and Retry buttons that might be shown for a job are located within the Progress column. If you hide the Progress column, you also hide these buttons.

  The Display Options menu shows you all columns that you can use in the Jobs list area. In addition to the default columns, the following columns can be shown:

  • Updated at: Date when the job was last updated.

  • Ranking: Currently, 1500 is shown for each job.

  • Priority: The priority of the job. Five priority levels are supported: Idle, Low, Medium, High and Urgent.

  • Group: The group the job belongs to. Only shown if this information is provided by the job.

  • System Name: Name of the system on which the job was started. Only shown if this information is provided by the job.

  • System Type: Type of the system on which the job was started. Only shown if this information is provided by the job.

  • Duration: Duration of the job execution (in format HH:MM:SS.mmm). Only shown if this information is provided by the job.

  • Job Kind: The job type.

• Rearrange columns: You can reorder the columns in the Jobs list area by simply dragging and dropping the column to a new position. Note that the Name column cannot be dragged and no other column can be dropped to the left side of the Name column.

• Adjust the width of columns: You can use your mouse to click on the divider between two columns to adjust a column to a custom size.

• Sort columns. By default, jobs are shown as a list in the Jobs app that is sorted by the Name column in alphabetical order. Except Thumbnails and Message, you can sort each column by clicking on the column header. Sorting is always applied to all displayed jobs.

The display format of the dates shown in the date columns can be modified in the User Settings. See Configuring the General Settings.
