From the System Administration tool you can create, edit, and view the JobGroups available in the JobServer. By default, all Jobs that are created are put into the "DEFAULT" JobGroup. New JobGroups can be created by the administrator. Jobs can be moved between JobGroups without restriction.
A JobGroup's name and description can be changed through this interface. Take special care if you decide to rename the "DEFAULT" JobGroup. While the name of the default JobGroup can be changed, it is best to name it something that will be easy to identify as the default. New Jobs are placed into the DEFAULT JobGroup by default.
Through this screen JobGroups can be added and removed. As many Job Groups as desired can be created. Existing JobGroups can't be delete if any existing Jobs are assigned to the corresponding JobGroup. All Jobs must be removed from the JobGroup before the group can be deleted. Also, the DEFAULT JobGroup can't be delete under any circumstance.
Alerts are sent to the email addresses listed, when a Job that is part of a Job Group encounters any kind a unexpected failure. This allows a person or group of people to be notified if anything exceptional goes wrong with any Job within a Job Group.
