Jobs Tab

The Jobs tab enables you to create, edit, and manage specific jobs you want to perform on your network. The jobs included are Push Firmware, Push Configuration, Restore, Reboot, and Purge Exceptions. Each user on the network is configured to have access to specific jobs, or all jobs, depending on their user configuration. The network administrator is responsible for configuring the user's permissions. For more information, refer to Adding a New User. Each job can be applied to a single managed device or a group of managed devices, and each job can be configured to run on a schedule.

To open the Jobs tab, select the Open Tab menu from the upper left-hand corner of any screen in n-Command MSP. Select Jobs from the drop-down menu.

There are two available views of the main Jobs tab: the Details view and the Grid view. You can toggle between views by selecting either the Details or Grid button from the top right corner of the menu.

The Details view gives the details of each currently configured job. Currently configured jobs are listed on the left side of the menu, and details for each job are provided in the split screen to the right. To access details for different jobs, select the job title from the list on the left. Some of the information displayed is the job's status, start and end times, percent completion, and number of errors.

The Grid view of the Jobs tab lists the currently configured jobs. This list includes the Job Name, Description, Status, job Start Time, and the User that created the job. This list can be exported via comma separated value (CSV), and the columns in the list can be managed by the Manage Columns tab at the bottom right side of the list. Jobs can also be deleted or cancelled from the Grid view by selecting the box next to the job and then selecting Cancel or Delete from the top of the Jobs tab.

From the main Jobs tab, you can view your currently configured jobs, add a new job, cancel a job, and delete a job. For more information on common job tasks, select a topic from the following list:
