The Job Record page contains two standard panels: Job and History. A third panel, Frequency, appears when you select the Make Job Recurring action. The Job panel contains information about the job such as status, date and time the job is schedule to run and alert options. The History panel contains information on who created the job and status changes. The Background Job record page can be accessed by clicking the Job ID column in the list of background jobs. Actions for the Job record allow you to make a job recurring, cancel a job or delete a job.
Fields on this panel are grayed out if the Job is currently running. You must cancel the job in order to make changes.
The Job ID is a unique ID that is automatically assigned by IQ when the Job is created. This field can not be edited.
The Job Title is the descriptive name for the Job that is assigned by IQ and is included in the alert message to the selected user(s) and/or group(s) when the background job completes successfully or fails.
This identifies the type of background job and is included in alert messages sent to the selected user(s) and/or group(s) when the background job completes successfully or fails.
Some background jobs require parameters that are passed to the program being called.
This field contains the current status of the job, which include Queued, Running, Failed, Completed and Canceled.

This panel only appears when you select the Make Job Recurring action in the Job or History panel. The Frequency panel contains three sections: Schedule Job Occurance, Schedule Job Date Range and Report Date Range.
The Schedule Job Occurance section contains the following three options, which let you select how frequently the job will take place. When you select one of these options, the fields and check boxes next to it become available.
Select this option for a job that will occur more often than weekly. The recurring job is scheduled for every day in your date range, including the Start and End dates, if you enter 1 in the Every field. If you want to schedule a date for every other day, enter 2 in this field. Enter 3 for every third day, and so forth.
Select this option to schedule a recurring job on the same day every week—use a check box to select the day of the week and enter 1 in the Every field. To schedule a job on the same day every other week, select 2 in the Every field; select 3 in the Every field to schedule a job on the same day every third week, and so forth.
Select this option to schedule a job on a monthly or yearly basis. To schedule a job for a particular day of the month, select a number from 1 to 31 from the day field. For example, to schedule a job on January 1, February 1, and so forth, select 1 in this field. In the Every field next to the day field, select the frequency with which to schedule the job. For example if you selected 1 as your day, and selected every 2 months, the job would be scheduled for January 1st, March 1st, May 1st, and so forth. Note: If the selected day of the month (i.e. 10th) is prior to the current day of the month (i.e. 1/13/11), then the Scheduled Date field on the Job panel will be updated for the next month (i.e. 2/10/11). If the selected day of the month (i.e. 15th) is after the current day of the month (i.e. 1/13/11), then the Scheduled Date field will be for the current month (i.e. 1/15/11). To schedule a monthly job on a particular day of the week, select options from the second row of Monthly fields. For example, select Second and Tuesday to place the job on the second Tuesday of every month.
The Schedule Job Date Range section allows you to select the End Date for the recurring job. Click the calendar icon to select a date or you can type the date in the field.
The Report Date Range section is used for background jobs for reports which contain a single date field or date range fields in the report criteria page. Click in the Report Date field and select one of the following date options for the background job to use to calculate the date or date range for the report:
CurrentDay – Scheduled date
CurrentWeek – Sunday to Saturday for week of Scheduled date (start and end day of week based on current date)
CurrentMonth – First and last day for month of Scheduled date (end of month day based on current date)
CurrentYear – January 1st of year of Scheduled date
PreviousDay – Day before current date
PreviousWeek – Sunday to Saturday for week before week of current date
PreviousMonth – First and last day for month before month of current date
PreviousYear – January 1st of year before of year current date
NextDay – Day after current date
