Run jobs

Job tiles in the Workflow pane allow you to interact with jobs and contain the following information by default:

• Job Name—The name of the job
• Due—The date the step is scheduled to be completed
• Type—The name of the job template on which the job is based
• Step—The current step in the workflow

To run a step that is assigned to you or your group, click Start Step on the job. Once the job has started, Finish appears and a Started or Running message appears at the bottom of the job tile.

If a step is configured to open a different project, you'll be prompted to save your existing project before the new project is opened. If the step was configured with Zoom to location, the map in ArcGIS AllSource zooms to the job's location. If the step was configured to close the project, the project closes when the step is paused or completed.

Caution:

If you ran a step in the Workflow Manager web app that prompted you to download a PITEMX file, the file can only be used one time to open the project in ArcGIS AllSource. If you need to open the project again, you must download a new PITEMX file from the job tile in the Workflow Manager web app or run the step again from the Workflow pane in ArcGIS AllSource.

Note:

If you try to run a job that is not assigned to you and you don't have sufficient privileges to assign the job to yourself, you can't run the job and the Unable to assign step message appears.
