Active and completed jobs - Legacy UI

About active and completed jobs

When a quick job is saved or a job is scheduled, it first appears on the Jobs > Active Jobs page. Quick jobs and one-time schedules will clear from the page as soon as the job has run. Recurring schedules will be listed on the page as long as they have future occurrences.

Completed jobs are moved to the Jobs > Completed Jobs page.

NOTE   Job results older than six months are automatically cleared.

For information on how to run a quick job or schedule a job, refer to Quick jobs - Legacy UI and Job scheduler - Legacy UI.
