Viewing information about recent job runs


You can view a list of recently completed job runs through the Completed Job Runs view. The Completed Job Runs view helps you find the jobs that you recently ran and presents the following basic information for each job run:

  • Status in which the job completed
  • Start time and end time of the job run
  • Name and type of job
  • User and role who ran the job

From any specific job run in the list, you can access the job run log or open the job in the content editor.

  • Choose Window > Show View > Completed Job Runs.

The Completed Job Runs view is displayed. Job runs are displayed in descending order of their end times, with a default of up to 100 job runs from the last 12 hours.
