    • You can Delete Scheduled Jobs, which deletes selected scheduled jobs in Pending Jobs.

    • For each pending job, you can either Edit, Copy or Delete a selected pending job. You can edit a completed job to run it again, editing the scheduling timing and recurrence.

  • Recent Activity– lists and maintains all recent jobs, including bursting definitions and report package data source refreshes executed by a scheduled job and internal jobs such as import/export artifacts.

    • You can Delete Activities, which deletes selected jobs in the Recent Activity panel.

    • For each recent job, you can either view the execution Details or Delete a selected recent job.
