About Objects

In RunMyJobs, an Object is basically anything you can configure. Jobs, Workflows, Job Servers, and Queues are all examples of Objects. Objects can be organized into Folders, imported and exported, and even edited in XML.

Tabs

The user interface for editing an Object generally includes a series of tabs that let you configure different aspects of the Object. Many of these tabs are the same for all Objects. For more information, see Object Tabs.

Documentation

Objects generally include a Documentation tab, where you can use free-form text to document what the Object is for and how it works. It is a best practice to document Objects as you go, so that other people who work with the system know what each Object is intended to accomplish.

You can also include links to separate documents stored in RunMyJobs. For more information, see Object Tabs.

Security

Objects generally include a Security tab, which lets you apply custom roles to the Object. For more information, see Custom Roles and Object Privileges.
