Cancelling Emails
If you have an email scheduled, you can cancel it from the jobs monitor by clicking on the delete icon under “Stop Job”. This will cancel your email job and allow you to return to the email campaign to make edits or reschedule.
NOTE: You can also cancel email jobs that are active but there will be a percentage of your list that still receives the email that is displayed as the “percentage complete”.
Downloads
Each job type will generate a file with information related to the job type. To download these files, click on the download icon .
Once the results have been downloaded, the job will be removed from the list of jobs.
NOTE: Go to “Job monitor > History” to see a list of old jobs run under your user account.
Super admin view
Users who are logged on with the user of type ‘Super Admin’ will be able to view the jobs of all users in the account. When accessing the Job Monitor as a ‘Super Admin’, an additional field of ‘User’ will be visible in the Job Monitor. The field indicates the user who initiated the job. The ‘Super Admin’ can then download the results file on behalf of the user.
Note that only users of type ‘Super Admin’ (SA) will be able to see this field. Regular users and Admin users will not be able to download the results from other users’ jobs.
