Job Detail area

Job Detail area

The Job Detail area contains job configuration data and the progress and status of currently running jobs and tasks. This area features two tabs: Detail and Log. For example, if you select Recent Jobs in the My Jobs pane, the Job Detail area displays this type of data in the Detail tab. The data in the corresponding Log tab indicates which VMs or servers were retrieved, which disks were skipped, and which tasks were completed. It also indicates that the job was saved.
