The Jobs engine is an Enterprise only feature, allows running ''__[CrushTask]__'' plugin based automation tasks, manually, scheduled in a timely fashion or triggered by user activity, when invoked as a user ''__[Event|UserManagerEvents]__''. It's a powerful feature offering advanced local or remote file processing capabilities, custom logging or sending out email notifications and some well beyond the scope of a MFT server application, like invoking a shell script, HTTP calls or SQL operations, IF/ELSE like decision making, text processing, etc. Our video tutorial covers the basics

The Jobs panel has three major sections, a list of available and active jobs, a designer panel and the scheduler.
!!!Jobs list\\
Here can create new jobs and manage existing ones.

!!Available jobs\\
A list of existing jobs. In this section can create, clone or drop existing ones, using the __New__, __Copy__ or __Delete__ buttons. Selecting an entry in the list will open the job in the __Designer__ window for editing.\\
!!Active jobs\\
A list of execution history, can filter on name, execution time interval and state (success,error) of a job. Selecting an entry from this list will open it in the __Designer__ window.

with the processed items visible. The __Log__ tab allows viewing and copying the log of this execution instance.\\
!!!Designer\\
The main task flow editor window. Can add various task items by double clicking into the white space or dragging an item from the __New Task__ icon. Most of the task items will have two connection nodes, a __green__ and a __red__ dot. Green path is taken on a successful execution of a task item. If it fails, the red dot path is followed, or if no error handling task flow connected, the job would fail with an error.

This page allows configuring the schedule execution time table and some other, more advanced configurations.

;Save state between steps:Needed only when debugging with breakpoints, for normal operation mode, this option needs to be off
;Logging enabled:toggles logging to file, on a per job basis
;Save results of job at end:toggles saving jobs execution history, on a per jobs basis. If this option is not set, the job history won't show up in the Active jobs list
;Only one instance running at a time:When toggled on, prevents overlapping schedules of the same job
;Only one instance running at a time in cluster:In case of a HA server cluster, toggles running on the ServerBeat master node only. Has no effect without ServerBeat enabled
;Users allowed to monitor:In case of a limited admin scenario, can pick a limited admin to be able to monitor this job.

If a list item is selected, we will open the job task flow animation frozen at it's last state, in the Designer page. If the small updown-arrow icon is clicked below a task item, it will display the list of items processed

The Log tab will show the current job log, if logging was enabled.
