Setting Job and Event View Controls

The Views tab is used to set the background colors of the monitor window, set confirmation options and set the time that B (Wait for Start Time) and P (Recently completed) queue options are displayed.

To change the Job and Event View Controls:

Select the Views tab in the Monitor Console Options window.

The settings are:

Field	Description
Job View Background Color	Sets the background color of the Job view Window
Event View Background Color	Sets the background color of the Event view Window
Confirm	Check the Abort option for confirmation of an abort procedure and Remove for confirmation of the removal of a job from the monitor display.

The lead time for B entries and retention time for P queue entries can be configured using the fill in boxes. These options determine how long the entries will remain in the the Event monitor window and are described below.

Time Factor	Description
Lead time for B entries	Any job that has a start time set is entered into the B queue and stays there until the start time occurs. The lead time setting determines how many minutes the job will appear in the Event monitor before it's start time.
Retention of P entries	When a job completes it is entered into the P queue. Entries are held in this queue to be used to satisfy future prerequisite requirements. After a short period typically 1 day the entries are removed. The retention time setting determines how long the job will appear in the Event monitor window after it completes.
Retention of failed P entries	Same as above but only applies to failed P queue entries.
