    32   <param>
    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.

     33  <para>
     34    Creating/configuring a job is made from a context, which is supported by the plugin you want
     35    to use. If no particularly context is needed, the job configuration is started from the
     36    plugin's single item view.
     37  </para>
     38  <para>
     39    Some jobs can be configured to execute immediately (for a few plugins it is mandatory that
     40    the job runs immediately), but normally jobs are placed in the job queue after they have
     41    been configured. The jobs will then be picked out for execution depending on their priority
     42    and estimated execution time.
