    Viewing Completed Jobs

    Translatable

    Overview

    This page describes viewing completed jobs. For information on viewing running jobs see here. For viewing scheduled jobs see here. To see how to run manual jobs on defined sets see here.

    The History tab of the Monitor Jobs page (Admin > Manage Jobs and Sets > Monitor Jobs) lists all the jobs that have completed. 
    On the History tab, you can view jobs in a specific time period, according to filter parameters and/or by search results. The history of a job is available for up to one year after it is completed.
    If you do not see the job in the Completed tab list, check the Running jobs tab to determine whether the job is still running.
    To view the history of a specific job, select Job History in the row actions list for that job in the Scheduled tab.

    To filter the list of jobs on the page:
    • 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.
    Select Refresh to update the list as jobs finish.
    Each job in the list includes the following fields:
