Action You can take further action on the job, depending on the job's status. The available actions depend on the ENOVIA product that initiated the job:
  • For a running job, click Monitor Progress to see detailed information about its progress. See Monitoring a Job's Progress.
  • For a successfully completed job, click the link, if available. The ENOVIA product that initiated the job may have defined a Next Step, such as running a report after importing data. If the job has completed, this field shows a link you can use to start the next step. Not all jobs have a Next Step action.
  • For failed or aborted jobs, no link exists.
