This middle area of the Niagara Network Job Builder shows a one-line summary for each step to be run for each station specified in this job. In most provisioning jobs, you add one or more steps. As needed, you can also remove and reorder steps (when the job runs, steps execute in the top-to-bottom order).
Add a provisioning job step by using any of the following methods:
-
Click the “” (add) button below the list, and choose the step type from the New Job Step popup menu (see Figure 3). Note that this dialog provides two different types of file copy steps:
-
Copy Local File — To copy a file that exists locally on your local Workbench PC (not on the Supervisor), to each target host running an included station. This is the only step type not available in a job prototype.
-
Copy Supervisor File — To copy a file that exists on the Supervisor (not on your local PC), to each target host running an included station. Note if you are running Workbench at the Supervisor PC, both are effectively the same step options.
For details about step types, see Niagara provisioning job steps.

-
Right-click in the steps list, select Add, and choose the step type from the popup menu.
-
Drag a file from Workbench’s Nav tree into the steps list (implicit File Copy step).

Drag a software item (module or dist) from Workbench’s Nav tree that appears under the ProvisioningNwExt’s “Software” container, into the Job Steps List (implicit Install Software step).
-
Drag a ProvisioningRobot that exists in the station’s Config (component) architecture into the Job Steps List (implicit Run Robot step).
Remove a provisioning job step using either of these two methods:
-
Click to select the step, then click the “” (remove) button below the list.
-
Right-click the step, and select from the popup menu.
Job steps are executed in the same top-to-bottom order as defined in the two step lists: “initial steps” first, then “steps
for each station”.
