Task to do

The execution of tasks can be limited to certain conditions.

Error Count

The number of errors the job had. Useful for only sending a mail if the export job had export errors.

 

Job context (User- or Play-Button)

(Since version 1.13)

You can control whether, for example, task plugins should be executed when jobs were started by using the play button and not if they were started from the PIM/MAM. The shown example does only execute the task, if an user started the Job by using the play buttons.

Placeholders & Job Parameters

Most text settings of job-related tasks support placeholders.

Example: File Name = export-{JOB:EndDateUnformatted}.xlsx

This is the list of natively supported placeholders.

Job Parameters can be used as placeholders, too.

 

Job-related tasks in the Job Pilot

By default, the Job Pilot does not execute job-related tasks, since it is only intended for small test exports. You can re-activate them though, by disabling this checkbox in the context editor.

As with everything in the context editor, this setting is only temporary and will not be stored in the job itself, meaning also, that this checkbox needs to be disabled again once the Job Pilot is opened anew.
