Using the Monitor

The Monitor enables you to view current Jobs in the Scheduler and provides access to comprehensive Job management tools. Use the following steps to open and manage current Jobs.

Accessing the Monitor

Click Monitor from the Shortcuts menu to open the Monitor Current Jobs view.

Customizing the Monitor View Using the Column Chooser

With the Column Chooser tool, you can add, remove, and move columns in the Monitor View, as well as the History and Folder Views. To use this tool, follow the steps below:

1. Right-click on any column header and select the Column Chooser. The available columns are displayed in the  Customization window.
   
2. To add a column to the current View, drag and drop a column title to the left or right of an existing column.
   
   NOTE: Double-clicking a column title appends the new column to the right within the current View.
3. To remove an existing column, drag-and-drop its header out of position until an “X” appears and then release the mouse button.
4. To move any column, drag-and-drop the column header into the desired position within the current View.

Monitor View Options

With the Monitor view, you can view and manage Jobs, Sequences, and Workflows. The Monitor view provides buttons in the Control Bar at the top of the screen to do the following:

• Cancel - Cancel the selected Entry.
• Release - Release an Entry from one or more requirements that are preventing it from running.
• Hold - Put a manual hold on an Entry. The Entry will not start until the hold is manually released.
• Reschedule - Specify a new date and time to submit the selected Entry.
• Submit - Submit the selected Entry.
• Properties - View the Properties for the selected Entry.
• Show Detail - View the Monitor Detail dialog.
• Query - Select options to update the type of Entries that are displayed in the Monitor.
• Refresh - Update the list of entries that are displayed.

You can also right-click a Job, Sequence, or Workflow to access a menu that displays similar options as the buttons at the top of the screen. The displayed options will vary based on the type of Entry selected. For example, Sequences and Workflows have additional options for Show Sequence or Show Workflow to let you view the Sequence or Workflow tab within the Monitor Detail dialog. This allows you to easily view the selected Sequence or Workflow.

Querying the Monitor

Within the Monitor View, you can query and filter the Entries that are displayed, allowing you to customize the view.

1. Open the Monitor view.
2. Click the Query Button.
3. On the Filters tab, select one or more of the following options:
   • Automatically Add/Remove Entries
   • Show Related Entries
   • Show Executing
   • Show Completed
   • Show Pending
   • Show Timed
   • Show Only My Entries
4. Click OK. The Monitor view is updated.
