Job and step states

A job represents an operation being performed on an entity, and a step represents a phase of a job. For more information about jobs and steps, refer to Work orders and jobs.

Job and step states indicate the status of jobs and steps that are being performed at an entity. For example, a job that has been started is in the Running state, and a step that is waiting to be started is in the Ready state.

The available job and step states are predefined in the system and are identified by a unique code. These predefined states cannot be deleted, and new states cannot be added. However, you can modify the names of the states and their associated color.

You can view and modify the states in the Jobs and Step States module. This module is in the Master Data Config group in the Navigation Bar. For more information on groups and modules, see Groups and modules.

When you open the Job and Step States workspace tab, a list of the job and step states is shown.
