    Job Processor Status Graphic Visual

    Status: Comments Requested
    by Active Contributor neil.cross on ‎01-02-2013 12:12 AM

    I've suggested this on the 2014 beta forums, and have been advised to post it here.

     

    A lot of end users don’t even know the JP exists, the ones that do will sit there waiting for it to do it’s thing but there’s no obvious indication that the JP is even processing their job (yes there is the Job Queue but I’ll get to that).  Could you please consider implementing some sort of graphic visual, whether that be a property, field, column, whatever, but something to show a user that the JP is actually processing a job for the file(s) they’re looking at.  I appreciate that as with anything, the technicalities of this will be tricky, but it would be very useful to have.  As an administrator I can RDP onto the JP box and pause/resume the JP and witness what it’s doing, a user cannot, they won’t know if their job is 15 minutes away from being done, 5 minutes, if the JP has bombed out, and I don’t want them to rely on the job queue either as this is often full of errors and a typical end user won’t be able to make any sense of that job queue.

    It would be really nice to have an estimated time to completion available as well.  It wouldn't have to be updated in real time, just in indication of the load on the job processor at the time that the job is submitted.
