Customizing Job Views

Job Views customize the way jobs display in your Manager. Once a job view is created, you can assign it to all jobs or to a specific job group. You can also choose to publish a job view to create an instance that appears in the navigation menu. You can manage job views from the Jobs menu.

Adding or Editing a Job View

In your Manager, navigate to Jobs > Views.
Click Add to create a new job view or click Edit to modify the properties of an existing view.
Configure job view settings on the Filter Definition and View Definition tabs.

Filter Definition

On the Filter Definition tab, enter a Job View Name and Time zone.
Choose all or any definition fields under Match all/any of the following.

You can filter on an item that equals, does not equal, starts with, does not start with, contains, is in, or is not in a specified value.

You can also filter by a date that is on, is before, is before or on, is after, is after or on a specified date, or a date that is in the past.

Note: If you do not specify a time, the filter specifies 12:01 am of the appropriate day.
Click the <empty> field to specify a value.
Click the plus signs to add criteria fields or click the x to delete them. You can click the folder icon to add additional matching fields to create complex queries.

Filter Definition tab

Note: More complex queries may take longer to complete. If criteria fields contradict each other, you may end up with fewer or greater results than you anticipate.

View Definition

On the View Definition tab, you can select attributes that will appear in the job view. You can change the order in which the attributes appear by dragging and dropping them into the desired order.

At the confirmation prompt, click Yes.

Publishing a Job View

Publishing a job view creates an instance of the view in the navigation menu. Users who are scheduling or monitoring jobs do not need to have access to the Job Views page to display jobs using a published job view.

To publish a job view:

Select the job view and click Publish.
Select a menu group with which to group or associate the published job view. The published job view is automatically added to the chosen navigation menu item, which appears in bold.
Click OK.

Note: To unpublish a job view, select the view and click Publish. A link with the name of the view is displayed at the top of the window. Click the Unpublish link.

Importing Job Views

Importing a job view allows you to use job views generated in a different Manager. The imported job view is automatically added to the job view list and can be used in the current Manager session.

To import a job view:

On the Jobs > Views page, click Import.
Select the File to Import and click OK.

Exporting Job Views

Exporting a job view allows you to use it on another Manager.

To export a job view, select the view you want to export from the job view list, and click Export. Your computer will automatically download the view in XML format.
