Service Job

A Service Job is an execution instance of a Service Template. It allows users to select devices, define tasks, and schedule service execution. Service Jobs can be created in two ways:

From the Service Template page – use the "Add to Upload Job" option.
From the Upload Job page – select an existing Service Template.

Add Service Job

The service Job (Add Job) page is used to select devices, define tasks (select devices for specific tasks), and set a schedule for service execution.

When adding a service job from the Upload Job page, the service template must be selected before the device is selected.
