Using the Background Jobs and Background Jobs History pages

The Background Jobs log has the following toolbar options:

Refresh (  ): Lets you reload the contents of the page. When the action is complete, the list might change.
Find on Page (  ): Lets you find items on the displayed page. When you click this option, the system inserts a row that lets you enter filter parameters.
By default, the Time Zone for Recurring Job field shows the "(Default) <Time Zone Name>." An Edit icon (  ) is displayed next to the field if the user has the Modify permission.
The system uses the set time zone to calculate the next start time for time-based jobs.

The Background Jobs log displays a sortable list that supplies the following information for each job:

Name: The name of the job. Examples include: system:collect action emails, alert:Hourly Trigger, and so on.
Status: The possible values are Running and Waiting.
Refer to the Unifier Essentials Data Reference Guide for the default time zones and the possible values.
Next Start Time: The time that the scheduler runs the job. The value seen here will be per User Preferences. Example: If the User preference is set, the format of the next run will be according to this time.
Type: The possible values are Simple and Recurring. Simple is a type of job that was done once, at a specific time. Recurring is a type of job that is done based on a calendar schedule.
Priority: The job priority. Only high priority jobs will have this column populated with the value of "High." The values for other jobs will be blank.
Workspace: Displays the name or number of the shell for the job (listed under the Name column).
