Niagara Network Job view

This view shows the details for the execution of a single provisioning job and is the default view for any NiagaraNetworkJob component.

You can access this view several ways:

  • By clicking Run Now in the Niagara Network Job Builder or Niagara Network Prototype View.
  • By clicking the “>>” button in the Niagara Network Job List or Prototype Job List on any provisioning job that is still running.

    If the job has completed and no longer appears in the Job Service Manager view, the system displays the Batch Job Log File view instead of this view. The Batch Job Log File functions the same as the Niagara Network Job View.

  • By clicking Job Summary on the Batch Job Step Log File View.

  • Job elements, which are read-only.
  • A summary table of the steps in the job.
  • A series of buttons at the bottom.
