Job Actions
The Active Jobs tab will open by default on the Job Manager UI and display all the jobs currently running. From this view, you can:
- Click the Pause button
in the Actions column to temporarily stop a job, or you can use the Cancel button 
to immediately end a job. - Use the Visualize button
to display workflow details for the job. - Click the Expand Child Jobs button to display (or collapse) child jobs.

Pausing Jobs
When pausing a job, only future task execution within that job will be paused. This means that if a task is actively running when the pause button is clicked that task will complete, but no subsequent tasks will run. The main exception to this is the childJob task, which will pause its own tasks, instead of continuing the child job until it completes.
If the actively running task is the final task in the job before workflow_end, and is not a childJob task, the job will complete. If that job is itself a child job it will also update the parent job's childJob task. However, no additional future tasks will be run, even if job statuses and metadata are updated.
Job Details
As mentioned earlier, the Visualize button in the Actions column of the Job Manager UI will display job details and a visual workflow for the active job. You can also display job details by clicking the job name from the Active Jobs tab.
Figure 4: Job Details
From the Details tab, you can:
Pause a job by clicking PAUSE. This button only appears when the job is currently running.
Cancel a job by clicking CANCEL JOB.
Click WORK TASK to work a currently running, manual task. A manual task requires user input. When you work a task, a dialog window will appear with various information, forms, or buttons that require manual input.
View task history by clicking the task in the table or the Task History
button.For child jobs, the Task History modal will show loop selection in the Outgoing variables tab.

Select the Auto-Work Tasks checkbox to avoid having to manually click any WORK TASK buttons on the screen. Every time the job has a manual task, if Auto-Work Tasks is checked, the manual tasks are worked (i.e. executed) automatically.
Click the Close button
