Overview

A Job is a set of tasks that are intended to be executed together. The Job creation interface is shown in Figure 2.1, “Job Designer”

When a job is open, there is a task tree on the left of the workspace along with a panel, which shows the details of the currently selected task. When a new job is created, only the job is visible as the root of the tree. Use the popup menu on the Job item in the tree to add new tasks to the job. If you have several tasks in the job you can reorganize them by dragging them around.
