Check out a Workspace

Save your Workspace

View your jobs in various ways

You can change the hierarchy, the display, and rearrange the jobs in the map.

Simulate active jobs

After you have tested various scenarios based on the Job definitions, you can go back to the Workspace and implement the relevant changes.

View versions of job and folder definitions and restore

The Version manager is a tool that enables you to view job and folder definitions for a specified date and time that corresponds to your specified filter criteria. A list of the matched definitions appears, indicating the changes made to the item since the specified date and time.

Each definition entity can be reviewed from the Properties pane and then selected for a restore operation. Multiple entities can be selected when performing the restore operation.
