Currently in beta is a new-and-improved implementation of the Jobs screen, which you can find at Provisioning >> Jobs 2.0 Beta. You'll find that the user experience has been significantly enhanced on the new page.
What's New?
This is what you can expect from the new Jobs 2.0 screen:
- A quick view of your jobs: By default, the new screen opens to the My Jobs tab, which shows all the jobs you yourself created. This makes it much easier to keep track of your own jobs.
- All Jobs: The second tab is All Jobs, which displays all the jobs that have been created by users in your organization.
- New columns: Most of the grid columns are the same as the old screen, but the new one also has added new columns: Tasks, Devices, Creator, and Details, which contain the number of tasks, the device count, the user who created the job, and a progress bar showing how far along the job is, respectively.
- Viewing details for multiple jobs side by side: You can now click a job ID to open the job's details on a new tab. Each task's information will be listed in its own row; when you select a task, the status of each file on the devices will be displayed.
You can have up to five tabs of jobs open, enabling you to switch quickly between them to compare information.
- A new way to filter the grid data: You can click at the top left of the grid to expand a filter pane with three sections: Job Status, Job Creator, and Created On. In each area, you can select a check box to show only results that match that criteria, based on the status of your jobs, which user created the job, and the day the job was created, respectively.
What Hasn't Changed?
This article has primarily discussed the new features of the reworked Jobs screen. You might be wondering what has stayed the same. If so, here's a list of what hasn't changed:
- The process of creating a new job: The job-creation steps are almost entirely unchanged. The only difference is that you begin by clicking Add New on the Jobs 2.0 screen instead of the Jobs Legacy screen; you then follow the procedure outlined at Adding a Job.
- Job conflict resolution: If you attempt to create a job with devices that are already involved in an existing job with the same file types, CTC Admin will still detect the conflicts and warn you with the number of devices and their file types, as described in How Does Job Conflict Resolution Work?.
- Canceling jobs, tasks, and devices: Currently, canceling in-progress jobs (and their individual tasks or even single devices) is still in development for the Jobs 2.0 screen, so you'll need to use the legacy page to do that. See Canceling a Job, Viewing a Task's Details and Canceling a Task, and Removing a Device from a Job for details.
