Job Server Queue Overview

The Job Server Queue is a list, or queue, of jobs submitted by clients (Inventor, AutoCAD, Vault, and Autoloader) waiting to be processed. This queue is stored in and managed by the Vault Server.

Note: You must be an administrator to make changes to the Job Server Queue.

Understand the Job Server Queue Dialog

The Job Server Queue dialog allows you to manage jobs that have been queued for publishing. On this dialog you can manually print jobs, resubmit a suspended job, review individual job details, and customize how job queue information is displayed.

Note: The Job Server Queue dialog is modeless. This means that you can perform other commands and actions while it is open. It can be minimized or moved out of the way if needed.
