Viewing Completed Jobs
This page describes how to view completed jobs in Alma. For a page with links to information about managing jobs including scheduled jobs, viewing running jobs, etc., see Managing Jobs in Alma.
History Tab for Monitor Jobs
- Use Submit Date to enter a date range for the completed jobs. By default, this filter is set to the past day.
- Use Job Category to filter jobs by category.
- Use Status to filter jobs by status. All Unsuccessful matches all statuses except Completed Successfully.
- In the Network Zone in a collaborative network, you can also filter by Institution Name to view jobs run on a specific institution. When viewing a report as an administrator in the Network Zone, reports and event data are read-only - there are no Actions buttons or links inside the report.
- Use the secondary search to search free text that matches a job’s Name or Job Details. Searches return only jobs that completed in the last thirty days.
Selecting Name searches the Name column, which can be seen on the page. Selecting Job details searches the Description column, which cannot be seen on the page. The Description column sometimes provides more information about the job.

The process takes all records in the set that are cached from the NZ and creates a set out of them in the NZ. Local (not cached) records are not part of the NZ set. This means that the number of records in the NZ set might be lower than the number of records in the IZ set. - Name of the original IZ set.
