Starting a Pending Job

Jobs that are 'Pending' can start if the workflow for the job has a green light bulb. It's at this point in the lifecycle of a job that it can officially start production.

To start a Pending job:

• Select 'Jobs'
• Select 'Pending'
• Select the Workflow button next to a job
• Choose a workflow to apply to the job
• Ensure the light bulb is green
  • It's at this point a user may want to verify the price, estimated cost, profit and any other variables in the workflow for the job before starting the job
• Select the green 'Start job' in the upper-right corner
  • The job is now considered 'In Progress'
• Select 'Start' to start the first process for the job
• Select 'Finish' when that process is complete
• Continue starting and finishing the remaining processes for the job
  • As soon as the last process in the job is complete, the job will change from 'In Progress' to 'Completed'
