Understand the job summary area

The job summary area summarizes the data for the jobs that are currently running on the active entity. When multiple jobs are running at the same time, it determines which job is active so that that job’s data can be displayed and worked with in the tab area. The summary fields are automatically refreshed when job conditions change. Unwanted fields in the job summary area can be hidden, to customize your display.

For an entity capable of running only one job at a time, the data fields are spaced evenly throughout the summary area. If a job is currently running, that is the active job.

For an entity that is capable of running multiple jobs simultaneously, each job’s data is displayed in one summary line in a scrollable pane.
