for the name.



Refresh – Refreshes the data on the Jobs pane.



Filter – Displays the Job Filter dialog to filter out by multiple criteria which jobs are displayed. For more information,



Print Selected – Creates a report of the selected data for the selected jobs and/or job groups. 



Group Display – Displays the Group Display submenu with its four options:

Expand Selected – Expands the selected job groups to display the individual jobs.

Collapse Selected – Closes the expanded job group that is selected.

Collapse All – Closes all of the job groups.



Disable – Temporarily disables (or makes inactive) all selected jobs and job groups. A disabled job cannot run. If the 
job being disabled is a dependency for another job, a confirmation dialog displays. Clicking Yes in the confirmation 
dialog, means that this job dependency will be overridden in all unrun dependent jobs. For more information, see 
Enable (above) and the 



Enable – This option enables all selected jobs and job groups. When a job or job group is defined, it is Enabled by 
default unless you clear the Enabled option. When a group is enabled, a prompt asks if you want to also enable the 
group’s children. If you click No to the prompt, the group itself is enabled but its children are not enabled. This menu 
option corresponds to the Enabled option in the Job and Job Group Definition dialogs. For more information, see 

.



Successors – If the selected job has successors, a report listing the successor jobs displays. If there are no 
successors, an Information dialog states that no other jobs depend on this job.



Create Business View From Group – Creates a Business View from a selected job group to graphically illustrate the 
dependencies and relationship between the jobs within the group.



Insert Into Schedule – Displays the Insert Into Schedule dialog to insert the selected job (or a different job) into the 
production schedule. There is some job data that can be overridden for the insertion. Through the Insert Into 
Schedule dialog, you can insert an instance of the selected job or group into the production schedule on an 
as-needed basis for the day. This occurs regardless of whether the job or job group was inserted automatically via 
a calendar and regardless of how many times the job or job group is defined to repeat within the day. When a job or 
a job group is added, and the job or job group already resides in the production schedule, an incremented instance 
number appears in parentheses next to the record to indicate the exact instance number.

 To add a job to production with the 

 menu option, the 

 option must be 

set in the job definition.



 Breadcrumbs (Job Groups only) – Click to bring Jobs folder view down to the child job/group level of the selected 
job group.

appear.



A checkmark to the left of a column title indicates that it will be displayed in the Jobs pane. No checkmark indicates 
that it will not be displayed.
