System Administration

Site-wide background jobs

Admins only: This tab is for site administrators. Organization admins see their own organization’s jobs on the Background Jobs tab of Organization Settings.

The Background Jobs tab in System Administration shows the same kind of grid organization admins see, but for every organization at once. Use it to find a job a customer is asking about, spot failures that affect many organizations, or follow an error-remediation run you started from the Errors tab.

In the app: Settings › System Administration › Background Jobs tab

What it shows

Every job that reported progress within the retention window (24 hours by default), newest first.

Column Meaning
Job ID The job’s identifier, shortened.
Job Name What the job is doing, often with the object’s name, for example “Generate Description — Customer”.
Organization The organization the job ran for.
Schema The schema it ran against, if any.
State Processing, Succeeded or Completed, Failed, and so on.
Progress Percent complete.
Message The job’s latest status text or error.
Last Updated When the job last reported.

The grid refreshes every 5 seconds. Refresh reloads it now. Filter jobs... matches the job name, message, organization, schema, or job id.

Schema imports report on their own screen rather than here; use the organization’s Schema Imports tab. See Watch import progress.

The job queue dashboard

Dashboard opens the job queue’s own dashboard at /jobs in the same browser tab. It shows the raw queue: enqueued, scheduled, processing, succeeded, and failed jobs, recurring jobs, and retries. Only site admins can open it.

Warning: The dashboard can re-queue and delete jobs for any organization. Retrying a job re-runs its work, so check with the organization’s admin before re-running anything that writes to their content.
