Jobs Perspective

The Jobs perspective can be divided into four quadrants; each quadrant displays information in panels called views.  There are various types of views.  For example, some views display a combination of real-time file I/O activity, history, and configuration information for a specific job; others display a summary of information about all jobs of a specific type.

The Jobs perspective can be divided into four quadrants.  See Views in the Jobs Perspective for a description of the views in the Jobs perspective.
