Using the Job Viewer

The Job Viewer (opened from a job instance hyperlink in the Job History tab) provides detailed information about a job.

• The Details tab provides detailed information about the selected job, including start and end times for the job, the current job status, and the IP addresses and names of any devices against which the job runs.
  To view job details for a device, click the hyperlink in the Status column. The Job Details Viewer opens for the chosen job, automatically displaying the Process Log for the selected job . For more information, see Viewing Job Details.
  When you click the hyperlink in the IP Address column of the Job Viewer, the Device Viewer appears for the device associated with the chosen IP address. For more information, see Inspecting Devices in the Network.
• The Issues tab lists issues raised by the job.
  To view Issue details, click a hyperlink in the Title column.
• The Files tab lists files created using the ARCHIVE keyword. You can view and download files from within this tab. (If the ARCHIVE keyword is not used in the script, this tab is empty.)
• Click the Cancel icon for that device.

• Turn auto-refresh On or Off from the Refresh dropdown.

  Note

  The Cancel icon will only appear in the Actions column for a device if the job is currently pending or running on that device. The Actions column is empty if the job has been completed for all devices.

• Click Cancel All to cancel all running Jobs on the page.

You create Views by resizing columns by dragging column headers into different orders in the Viewer and by adding or removing individual columns in the window.

Save views by using the Views pull-down menu.
