PeerSync Help > Interface Features > Menus

Located beneath the Toolbars, this window displays all Jobs associated with the current Profile. Use of this list is central to the Profile-building process; all configurations made on the Job Settings screens (accessed through the Selection Tree) will only be applied to those Jobs currently selected from this list.

To select a Job, highlight it using the left mouse button. The "Allow Multiple Selection" item must be checked on the Job Menu in order to select and have settings applied to Multiple Jobs. To select Multiple Adjacent Jobs, highlight the first Job, hold down the SHIFT key on your keyboard, and then highlight the last Job you wish to include. You can also hold down the SHIFT key and then use the up or down arrow keys on your keyboard. To select Multiple Nonadjacent Jobs, highlight the first Job, then hold down the CTRL key on your keyboard and click on each additional Job you wish to include. Once you have selected a Job or Jobs, move through the screens found on the Selection Tree and apply settings as desired. Highlighting on the selected Job(s) will appear gray as you move through these screens, indicating that any configured settings will only be applied to those selected Jobs.

The box appearing to the left of each Job must be checked in order for that Job to be included in the active Profile when launched. Although unchecked Jobs will not be processed upon launch, they will be saved within the Profile for future use and/or selection.

Upon creating a new Profile, an initial Job will be displayed bearing the name "New Job Item 1" by default (this applies to manual Job creation only). The first New Job added within an existing Profile will also bear this name. Successive Jobs will be named "New Job Item 2," "New Job Item 3," etc. Any selected Job can be renamed through the "Rename" Tool Button, through items found on both the Job Menu and Profile Job List Pop-Up Menu described below, or manually by selecting it a second time using the left mouse button.

In both new and stored Profiles, you can navigate the Profile Job List as well as add, copy, delete, and navigate Jobs using the Tool Buttons; using items from the Job Menu, and by using items found on the Profile Job List Pop-Up Menu described below. You can also navigate the list and delete items using the DELETE and up and down arrow keys on your keyboard.

Note: In order to navigate or modify the Profile Job List, you must have first clicked somewhere within the Profile Job List window; this ensures that during configuration any options chosen from the Selection Tree screens are applied exclusively to the currently selected Job.

The height of the Profile Job List window can be changed by passing the mouse pointer over its bottom border until a double/Arrow cursor appears, then dragging the window to meet the desired size. At minimum size, only a single Job may be viewed. Adding a new Job while this view is in effect prompts display of up and down arrow buttons in the right side of the window. These buttons allow you to view different Jobs within the list.

Job List Pop-Up Menu Activated by right clicking on the Profile Job List, this menu duplicates the mostly used features found on the Job Menu while providing some additional items listed below.
Synchronize Selected Jobs	This executes an immediate, non-persistent synchronization of the currently selected Jobs ("non-persistent" refers to a one-time sync process; "persistent" refers to ongoing sync operations such as Real-Time Monitoring or Scheduled Operations). During this process, persistent arguments set for the current Profile will be ignored. When the button is released, a confirmation dialog will be displayed indicating which Jobs have been selected from the active Profile and asking you to confirm synchronization through a "Yes" or "No" button. If "Yes" is selected, the synchronization will proceed. A message will always be displayed upon completion of this operation. Other sync operations allow you to choose whether or not such a message will be displayed.
Create Pre-Sync Report	This executes a pre-sync report of the currently selected Jobs. During this process, files and folders will not be modified and persistent arguments set for the current Profile will be ignored. A report will be created and displayed with the work that would be performed if a synchronization was actually run. This feature may be quite helpful during evaluation and when running and testing a newly modified Profile.
