Toolbar/Jobs menu
Quick access to some job categories is in the toolbar. The complete options are listed under the Jobs menu and while most are self-explanatory they are described below:

Job Name Filter | Lists the jobs whose names match the filter supplied. This filter only works as an appended filter to the main filter selected under Jobs, e.g. first enter a filter for Job Name Filter or select a filter from the drop-down list; and then choose your main filter under Jobs—e.g. All Jobs, Scheduled Jobs, etc. |
All jobs | Lists all jobs in the middle pane |
