Start Contentserv Active Job

Contentserv Active Jobs can accomplish, automate and regulate a multitude of tasks, from simple exports to AI generated texts.

In this article you will learn how to create and run an Active Job by using Job-Related Tasks.

 

How to create a Job-Related Task

1) Go to Jobs (the so-called Jobcenter) in the SAWSConnector Suite.

2) Select Job-related rasks in the sub-menu.

3) And click on + (‘Add new task‘).

 

Another sub-menu opens where you can specify the basic conditions, for example when the task should start or what happens after the task is done. To learn more about this click on this link.

4) Click on the Task to do box and select ‘Start Contentserv Active Job‘.

 

Another menu will open.

 

Settings

Conditions

Allows you to specify even more conditions and context for the follow-up job. You can create a condition by clicking on + (Add new condition).

ActiveScript

Select the previously created ActiveScript you want the Job-related Task to start.

Please note: The ActiveScript / ActiveJob cannot be changed within the Job-related Task tab and will only act as previously defined.

 

Save your Job-related Task

5) Just click on the Save button next to the tabs tail below.

 

Hint: Do not use the Active Job for chaining!

As seen below, these jobs would start these three jobs simultaneously instead of after one another.

If you want to automate your chain, only select the first job of it in the Active Job.

 

Run Example

To fully understand how you can run follow-up jobs via the job-related task it is best demonstrated with a step-by-step case example.

My goal for this example is to create a series of descriptions via the outstanding and brilliant Ursula AI.

 

1) I want my ‘Products‘ job to also generate description while running.

 

2) Before continuing further I have to create the subsequent Active Job ‘Ursula DAM File Description‘.

How I do this is too much for this article, therefore I would invite you to follow me into this Run Example (Generate Descriptions with Ursula AI Active Job) to see how I do the Active Job and return afterwards to here.

 

3) After creating the Active Script I open the ‘Products‘ job, go to the Job-related tasks and create one by clicking on + (Add new task).

 

4) For a Task to do I select ‘Start Contentserv Active Job‘.

 

The Settings menu opens.

5) Since I don’t have any more Conditions to set, I just leave them be.

6) For a ActiveScript I just search and select ‘Ursula DAM File Description‘ I created earlier from the list.

7) And then I save my progress.

 

8) This is how my job and job-related task look like by now:

 

9) For the final I launch ‘Products‘ and let Ursula AI do its magic.

 

10) … and enjoy the results:
