Managing running jobs

When a job definition has been submitted to a grid resource, the job(s) are managed from the Active jobs tab. This tab shows a table with all known running jobs owned by the user. The table displays the JobID, name, State, and Error. The individual jobs are also colored according to their state, to make it easier to identify the state of many active jobs. The table can also be sorted by clicking on the table column headers. An example Active jobs tab is shown in the following figure:
