Jobs panel

After initiating an assembly in SeqMan NGen or SeqMan Ultra or an NCBI BLAST or Entrez search in SeqMan Ultra, you can monitor its progress and open its eventual output from the Jobs panel.

To open the Jobs panel, do any of the following:

• Click on the Jobs tab.
• Press Ctrl+Alt+J (Win) or Option+Cmd+J (Mac).
• Use View > Jobs or Search > Show Jobs.

The Jobs panel consists of a header and a table with the following columns:

Column	Description
(icon column)	– Local assembly that started in SeqMan Ultra or SeqMan NGen. – Cloud assembly that started in SeqMan Ultra or SeqMan NGen. – Text or sequence search of the NCBI database.
Job Name	Assemblies originating in SeqMan Ultra or SeqMan NGen are named as specified during assembly setup. Text searches are all named with the field and term of the first search criterion followed by “plus # terms,” where # represents the number of additional criteria. Sequence searches use the name specified in the Job screen of the Search wizard. The same Job Name can be used for more than one prediction.
(icon column)	An icon indicating the status of the search (see below).
Status	A word or phrase indicating the status of the search. Started – Run or Run Job were pressed in the Search wizard Queued – – Submitted and placed into the queue Running – – Running Done – – Job completed successfully; click the link to view the results. Instead of Done, some successful searches will instead display the link as ‘n’ matches (in ‘y’ sequences). Failed – – Job failed Stopped – – Job stopped by user Expiring – – Sequence (BLAST) and text (Entrez) search jobs are intended to be ephemeral and expire after 7 days. The Jobs panel notifies you of upcoming expiration dates. “The assembly has failed” message, followed by a description “Too many matches found” message, followed by a description
Started	The date and time the job began.
Elapsed	The total elapsed time between starting and completing the job.

Tasks that pertain to the Jobs panel:

Task	How To
Open the results of one or more jobs	Click on the Done () or Expiring links for that job. See below this table for more information on job expiration. You can also open a saved .search file using Search > Open Search File.
Stop one or more jobs that are in progress	Select one or more rows with a Status of Started, Queued or Running. Then press the Stop tool () in the header above the table. Once stopped, a job cannot be restarted from the Jobs panel. You must instead initiate a new search.
Delete a finished or failed job	Select one or more rows with a Status of Done, Failed or Stopped. Then press the Delete tool () in the header above the table.
Log in to Cloud Assemblies	If you see a key icon with a yellow triangle (), this indicates that you are not logged into Cloud Assemblies and that any Cloud Assemblies will not show up in the Jobs list. Click the icon to enter your login credentials. If you are logged in, the key icon is accompanied by a green check mark ( ).
Open/reopen the progress dialog for a job	Select one or more rows with a Status of Started, Queued or Running. Then right-click and choose Open Progress dialog.
