Image processing jobs

The Jobs screen is where you track the analyses you (and, if you administer a group, the groups you manage) have started. It is reached from Jobs in the navigation.

The Jobs screen

Viewing jobs

The table lists all of your organization's analysis jobs on its compute provider — everyone in the organization sees the same queue. When your organization connects more than one compute provider, a provider selector appears above the table so you can switch between them; with a single provider the selector stays out of the way. To focus on your own analyses, tick Submitted by me — the list then narrows to the jobs you started (the checkbox only affects this view and resets on your next visit).

The table is fully interactive:

  • Sort by any column — click a column header to switch between ascending and descending order. Newest submissions are shown first by default.
  • Filter per column — the Application and Submitted by columns accept free-text filters, while Group offers a selection of the groups present in your list.

Your sorting and filter choices are remembered between visits.

Filtering by status

The Status column has its own filter — pick one status from the list to show only jobs in that state. A job can be:

Status Meaning
Queued Waiting for compute
Running In progress
Completed Finished successfully
Failed Finished with an error
Failed — insufficient memory The job was killed for exceeding its memory request
Stopping / Stopped Being or already canceled

Monitoring & outputs

Open a job (click its application name) to see its progress and details. The detail view also lists the parameters the job ran with — the record of how its result was produced — alongside links straight to the job's input and output locations. When a job completes, its outputs are written back to your organization's storage, and you can locate and open them from there — for example the resulting Parquet segmentation overlays and tables you load in Overlays and the Data grid.

Batches

Analyses are submitted in batches — one job per image — and the table gathers each batch's jobs under a single heading row: the batch's short identifier (the first characters of its ID), its size, and how many of its jobs are running, have succeeded, and have failed. Tick the arrow beside a batch to fold its jobs away or show them again. The jobs underneath are ordinary rows of the table — the same columns and the same details as any other job, and each opens its own details when you click it. A batch opens by itself while any of its jobs is still running or has failed, and folds together once everything has settled. If the table is showing fewer jobs of a batch than the batch was submitted with, the heading says so (for example "a4f9c2e1 · 3 jobs (2 listed)").

You can give a batch a name when you submit it — an optional label in the run form's Batch defaults panel, shown beside the identifier on the jobs list and in each job's details. Names are just labels: two batches can share one, and the identifier stays the way to tell them apart. The most recently submitted batches are listed first.

Each batch's heading row carries a Relaunch batch action that re-opens the run form filled in with the batch's original configuration — the same application, parameters, inputs, and output location — ready for you to tweak anything before running it again. Older jobs that were submitted before batches were tracked get a heading row of their own, so they appear in the list as ordinary rows.

Logs

The job detail view also shows the job's logs — the output streamed from the analysis container. Messages appear in the colors the application printed them in, so warnings and highlights stay easy to pick out. The log pane keeps a fixed height and scrolls on its own, so even a chatty job never pushes the job's details out of view.

Re-running a job

To run the same analysis again — with the same application, parameters, inputs, outputs, cluster, and resources — use Relaunch:

  • In a job's detail view, to re-run that job.
  • In a batch's progress header, to re-run the whole batch.

Relaunch opens the run form pre-filled with that job's earlier configuration, so you can start it again exactly as it was, or change anything you like first.

A job submitted without a saved configuration cannot be reproduced exactly, so its Relaunch action is disabled. This is deliberate: the alternative would be a partly reconstructed configuration that is not what actually ran. The job's own detail view, its logs, and its status and timeline stay fully available — only Relaunch is unavailable.

Availability

The Jobs entry appears only when your organization has compute enabled. All compute activity is confined to the organization you entered at sign-in — you never see an application or job from another organization.

See Running an analysis for how to start a job.
