Job Properties tab

The Job Properties tab contains many attributes of the job that may be manipulated such as job name, assignment, start and due dates, priority, status, and description.

The Job Properties tab is displayed by default when Workflow Manager is launched and a job is selected.

There are some static properties on the Job Properties tab. These include the job ID, when and who created it, and the job type. These properties are not editable after the job is created.
