Notes for Users of the Previous / Classic UI

  • In the Classic and Legacy UI, when you create a Job Definition, you must begin by specifying a Job Definition Type (see screen shot below). In the Modern UI, you select the type of a Job Definition by choosing it from the Type dropdown list in the Job Definition tab.

    Note: It is important to note that there are some kinds of Job Definitions that cannot be created from the Job Definitions screen. If you are unable to create a particular Job Definition here, create it as part of a Workflow Definition using the Workflow Editor.

  • In the Classic and Legacy UI, when you are creating a Job Definition, you can use the Definition Studio screen (see screen shot below) to test it. In the Modern UI, if you want to test a Job Definition while you are building it, create that Job Definition as part of a Workflow in the Workflow Editor.
