Workflows Creating New Jobs 74
The General panel lets you limit the number of pages allowed in an output document, even if
the file option Create one file for all pages is selected. When the limit is reached, a new file is
started, distinguished by a numerical suffix.
Click Finish to confirm job creation.
Modifying jobs
Jobs with an inactive status can be modified. Select the job in the left panel of
DocuDirect and choose Modify from the Edit menu or click the Modify Job button
.
First, modify timing instructions as desired. Then the W
orkflow Assistant appears with
the workflow steps and settings loaded. Make the desired changes as already described for
workflows. See “Modifying workflows” on page 71.
Managing and running jobs
This is done with DocuDirect. It has two panels. The left panel lists each job, its next run,
status and history. The status is:
Waiting: Scheduled but job start time is in the future.
Running: Processing is currently underway.
Watching: Watching is in progress but there is no processing.
Inactive: Created with timing instruction: D
o not start now; or
any deactivated jobs.
Expired: Scheduled job but start time is in the past.
Collecting: Watching in progress but the job is waiting for all
in
coming files to arrive.
Paused: User has paused the job and has not yet resumed it.
Closing: Watch type job is saving its result.
Starting: The status right before Running. Displays when a job
i
s just being started or when more jobs are about to
run than the number of jobs DocuDirect can
simultaneously run.
Click on a job and a step-by-step analysis of all pages in the job appears in the right panel. It
shows where input was taken from, the page status and where output was directed to. Click on
a plus icon to see more information about the page. Click on a minus icon to hide details. For
jobs with the error or warning status, the listing shows which pages failed or what problems
occurred.
