If necessary, click the toolbar Refresh button to view the new queue
status.
To activate a suspended job:
1 Select the inactive job (denoted by a gray box).
The Activate button on the toolbar becomes active.
2 Click Activate, or use the menu bar or right-click menu.
The job becomes either started or active in the queue, depending on
whether or not another job is currently rendering and whether or not
any of the job's frames have already rendered.
Activating and Deactivating Servers in the Queue
When prioritizing jobs and dividing up the network render load, you might
need to pull individual servers off one job and place them on another.
When you remove a server from the current rendering job, and the server is
assigned to another started or active job, it is used by that job. If the server
has no further job assignments, it stops rendering.
You can assign machines that become available for network rendering to any
job.
You can tell whether a server is assigned to a particular job by highlighting
the job in the Queue Monitor > Job list and looking at the server's icon in the
Server list. If a horizontal bar appears through the server icon, then it is
assigned to the job; if no bar appears, then it isn't assigned to the job.
Alternatively, just highlight the job and then click Selected Job in the Server
Tree view, to list only servers assigned to that job.
