Sequence Jobs Tool

Jobs are linked together in adTempus using Job Control Actions in Responses. To create a sequence of jobs, each job has a Response that runs the next job in the sequence.

The Sequence Jobs Tool provides a shortcut for creating and reordering such links.

When you open the tool for a Job Group, all jobs for that group and, optionally, its sub-groups, are listed. Check the boxes next to the jobs that you want to have participate in the sequence, and use the up and down arrows to change the order in which the jobs will run.

After setting options, click OK to apply the changes.

This tool does not affect any Job Control Actions that target jobs that have not been selected for the sequence.

Add sequence number to job names

When you check this option, adTempus will add a sequence number prefix to the name of each selected job. For example, if you have selected three jobs for your sequence, named "Job A," "Job B," and "Job C," adTempus will rename them to "1. Job A," "2. Job B," and "3. Job C."

You can change the starting number for the first job in the sequence, and the amount by which the number is incremented for each job.

Link type

Select the kind of rule that will be created for the links that join the jobs:

If you check the Preserve existing link type option, adTempus will keep the current rule, if any, defined for each job.
