     33    Job is a configured task performed by a plugin. Creating/configuring a job is done from a
     34    context that is supported by the plugin you want to use. Some jobs can be configured to
     35    execute immediately (for a few it is not even an option), but normally the jobs are placed
     36    in a queue after they have been configured. The order, in which the queued jobs are
     37    executed, is decided by the priority between the jobs and when there is a slot available to
     38    execute the job on. The priority can not be changed by a user, this is something that is
     39    specified by the plugin developer.

     50    <para>
     51      When viewing details of a single job, it is displayed in pop-up window. This window
     52      opens either if you click on a job's name from the list page of jobs or when a job
     53      configuration is finished. The window contains two tabs, one tab with information about
     54      the job and another with the parameters for the plugin used in the job.
     55    </para>
     56    <helptext external_id="job.view.parameters" title="Job parameters">
     57      <para>
     58        The values listed on the parameter-tab are used when running the job. Exactly which
     59        parameters to find here, is decided by the plugin and what inputs it needs from the
     60        user.

     63    <helptext external_id="job.view.properties" title="Job properties">
     64      <para>
     65        All parameters are set either when configuring the job or by the system. No
     66        parameters can be edit after a job is created.

     97                This is what priority the job should have in the job queue. It is
     98                defined by the used plugin and can not be changed by the user. The
     99                value is between 1 and 10, where 1 is the highest priority.
