Jobs is a tool responsible for viewing your specific automated processes. Many custom automated processes performed by the platform are defined within the Jobs settings. A Job is the combination of automated steps to achieve a certain objective. Your view of Jobs is read-only and can only be adjusted by the platform. However, understanding the general criteria for each reporting Job as well as the ability to view them within the Jobs settings on the platform can help you interpret your Jobs' functions and potential errors. 

  • Use the Filter field to search for specific jobs. 
  • To include disabled jobs, select the Show disabled checkbox.

The Jobs window displays the following tabs and buttons:

In Jobs window, all fields are read-only. 

Tabs/ButtonsDescription
General 

Displays the automated steps for a selected job in sequential order along with the step's Name, Type, Next Success Step (what happens if the step works), and Next Failure Step (what happens if the step does not work).

 The Trigger Type field is a view-only field that describes the trigger for the job:

  • Campaign: Indicates whether the job requirement is to generate the reporting job for every campaign. The job runs when a campaign ends (EOC).
  • Scheduled: Indicates whether the job requirement is to post the reports every day (EOD), hourly, weekly or monthly.
  • FTPin: If you are using the platform SFTP site to upload the campaign files, the FTPin job and this type of trigger are set up by default to ensure a file is moved once it is posted to your SFTP site.

You can have as many Scheduled jobs as you want, but only one Campaign and one FTPin job.

      • Double-click a step's row to view the detailed settings involved with the step.
        • An Email step defines who receives the generated email.
        • An FTPOutCopy step defines where the file is copied to.
        • A Copy to Cloud Object Storage defines the transfer of files into/from your S3 storage.
