About Job Definitions

A Job Definition is like a template for a specific process you want to automate. A Job Definition includes everything RunMyJobs needs to do a particular unit of work, including input files, output directories, scheduling information, and any required credentials.

A Job Definition that is used inside of a Workflow is called a Job Call. To configure a Job Call, click it in the Workflow Editor to display the Job Call overlay.

Note: In the Classic and Legacy UI, a Job Definition is referred to as a "Process Definition."

To view available Job Definitions, navigate to Configure > Automate > Job Definitions.

There are different types of Job Definitions for different types of work.

• System Job Definitions are preinstalled Job Definitions that let you automate common tasks.

• Custom Job Definitions are Job Definitions that you create.

For more information about Job Definition Types, see Job Definition Types.

To execute a Job Definition, use the Run Wizard.
