The Jobs Page in Grooper provides visibility into background processing operations executed by the system. It allows users to monitor the status, progress, and history of jobs such for Batch Processing and scheduled tasks.

Introduction

The Jobs page of Grooper is a system-level monitoring interface that displays all processing jobs executed by Grooper services. These jobs represent the execution of activities for Batch Processing such as Recognize, Classify, Extract, Export, and more.

From the Jobs page, users can:

• View a list of active, completed, and failed jobs.
• Monitor job status (e.g., Running, Completed, Failed, Canceled).
• See detailed information such as "Process", "Step Name", "Activity", etc.
• Identify errors or performance issues by reviewing job logs and outcomes.
• Filter and search for jobs based on status, type, or time range.

The Jobs page is particularly useful for administrators and advanced users who need insight into system performance and processing behavior. It complements the Batches page by exposing the underlying execution layer, helping diagnose issues, track workload distribution, and ensure that processing pipelines are running as expected across the Grooper environment.
