Job Group

Job Groups allow you to group related jobs into "folders" in the adTempus Console. This allows you to better organize your workspace when you  have a large number of jobs.

Each group may contain jobs and/or "child" groups. Groups may be nested to as many levels as necessary.

Groups and group hierarchies are global (not personal) settings. That is, when you put a job in a group, the job appears in that group for all adTempus users.

When you delete a group, adTempus will ask you whether you also want to delete all of the jobs within the group. If you choose not to delete the jobs, they will be moved to the next group up.

All jobs in a group inherit the security settings and Job Variables defined for the group.

Aside from security and job variable inheritance, Job Groups are strictly an organizational tool. Placing jobs in the same Group does not create any link or dependency between those jobs. If you need to be able to limit the number of related jobs that are executing at the same time, you can use Job Queues to do this.
