Job Action

A Job Action always relates to a job object, i.e. to a job executed via IO, which in turn always relates to an asset (file or sequence). Since a job can also be triggered from within a project, there is the case that project-related information (name of the project, metadata, etc.) is also available in a job.

A job is always shown in the IO dashboard. Metadata as well as the progress and a message are displayed. If, for example, an import of a file is initiated, the "job file copy action" can be used to copy this file to a defined location on the storage system. The progress is shown in the dashboard. If this file is to be recoded after it has reached the destination, the "job render in name action" can be used to do this. Again, the progress is displayed in the dashboard.
