What is the status of the job I ran in Alma?
In Alma, a job is an action that takes place behind the scenes. Some jobs are run automatically by Alma, and others can be initiated by staff. It’s misleading when Alma says a job was completed successfully. It’s a good idea to look at the job reports even if the job completed successfully.
- Go to Manage Jobs and Sets > Admin > Monitor Jobs.
- Go to the History tab.
- Search or browse for the job. You can use filters and change the date range.
- Next to the job, click … ("More actions"), then click Report.
