Jobs menu
Use to obtain information about rendering jobs. Most Jobs menu functions
are available only when at least one job is highlighted in the Job list, and
many require that only one job be highlighted.
These commands are also available by right-clicking a job in the job list.
Edit Settings Opens the
Job Settings dialog on page 6334 , with settings for
job-related functions such as frame range and output size.
Change Priority Opens the Change Job Priority dialog, which lets you set a
new priority or set the job to be critical.
If you change a job's priority so that a different job moves to the beginning
of the list, the software pauses the current job and begins rendering the newly
elevated job.
Clone Job Makes an identical copy of the highlighted job and adds it to the
end of the list.
Dependencies Opens the
Job Dependencies dialog on page 6289 , which you
can use to specify existing jobs that must finish before the current job can
start.
Report Opens the
Job Report dialog on page 6340 for generating text files
containing job reports.
Column Chooser Opens the Job Columns dialog, with additional columns
you can drag into the Job list title row. As you drag a column over the title
row, arrows appear indicating where the column will be inserted.
To remove a column, right-click its title and then choose Remove This Column.
You cannot remove the Job or Order column.
Activate Starts a suspended job or jobs.
Suspend Pauses an active job or jobs.
Restart Job Starts a job over at the first frame set in Job Settings.
Archive Job Archives a job currently stored in the queue. Archived jobs are
removed from the Job queue and stored in the Job Archives.
Job Archives Accesses the Job Archives where jobs are stored after clicking
the Archive Jobs command or if they're assigned to automatically archive
upon completion. Choosing this command opens the
Job Archive dialog on
page 6342 where you can choose to Delete, Activate or Refresh jobs.
Delete Removes the highlighted job or jobs from the queue.
