Use this screen to submit jobs to a queue to execute on a job server. You can execute the job immediately, schedule it to execute at a future time and date, or hold the job. If you hold the job for release, it is submitted to the queue but does not execute until you start it in the Update Job Status screen or the Manage Job Queues (system administrators only) screen. You can also specify whether the job should recur after a certain number of days.
