Default View

The default view on the Home page can be set to show either finished jobs or running jobs.

The default view is Finished Jobs. When used, this parameter makes the Show Jobs Finished (units) and Show Jobs Finished (unit time range) settings active (see below), allowing you to specify a time range for which finished jobs are shown.

The Running Jobs view shows a list of all running jobs, which cannot be filtered by a time range.

Show Only Favorite Jobs

Filters the Home page to show only the favorite jobs that are configured in the Favorites panel for this user.

Show Jobs Finished (units)

Activates when Finished Jobs is selected for Default View. It sets the unit of measure for Show Jobs Finished (unit time range). Select Minutes, Hours, or Days from the drop-down list.

Show Jobs Finished (unit time range)

Activates when Finished Jobs is selected for Default View. It constrains the number of finished jobs on the Home page to a specific number of the units selected in Show Jobs Finished (units). For example if the unit is Days, a value of 2 shows all of the jobs that finished running in the past two days.
