Overview: Job Manager

The OPEN DISCOVERY Job Manager allows you to view, update, and manage jobs in the platform. The Job Manager provides an array of details about specific jobs that are processed, or scheduled for processing, in OPEN DISCOVERY. Here you can view, filter, and sort jobs, access key information about job details, retry failed tasks, and download log files.

The Job Manager is divided into the following tabs:

  • In Progress

  • Completed

  • Scheduled

  • Agents

The In Progress tab displays the full list of active and pending jobs. When a job in OPEN DISCOVERY is currently processing, paused, or queued up to be processed, it appears in this tab.

The Completed tab shows the full list of jobs that have finished processing in OPEN DISCOVERY, with or without errors. In addition to tracking and reporting key details about completed jobs, this tab also provides you the ability to download PDF files (from Print to PDF jobs), as well as log files associated with each job.

The Scheduled tab displays jobs that are configured to run at some point in the future. These could be one-time jobs, or recurring jobs that are scheduled to run on a consistent basis. This tab also provides a button, , that allows you to jump quickly to the location in OPEN DISCOVERY where each job is configured.

The Agents tab provides details about the status of each Job Manager agent, and can be useful for troubleshooting any issues that may arise when processing tasks in the Job Manager.
