The Monitor enables users to view current Jobs and Setups in the Scheduler and provides access to comprehensive Job management tools. Use the following steps to open and manage current Jobs and Setups.

Accessing the Monitor

To get started, select the Monitor shortcut to open the Current Jobs View.

Customizing the Monitor View Using the Column Chooser

With the Column Chooser tool you to add, remove and repositions columns in the Monitor View, as well as the History and folder Views. To activate this tool, follow the steps below:

  1. Right click on any column header within a View to open its context menu.
  2. Select the Column Chooser command to display all column titles available in the Customization window.      

  1. To add a column to the current View, drag and drop a column title to the left or right of an existing column.

Note: Double-clicking a column title appends the new column to the rightmost position within the current View.

  1. To remove an existing column, just drag and drop its header out of position until an “X” appears and then release the mouse.
  2. To reposition any column, drag and drop the column header into the desired position within the current View.
