Jobs

The Jobs page lists all catalog generation runs in the system. Each job represents a single request to build a product catalog for a specific customer from a set of SKUs. Jobs move through a processing pipeline — from Pending through image resolution and building, to Completed or Failed — and the list updates in real time via a live connection.

Accessing the Page

Navigate to Catalog Automation → Jobs in the sidebar, or go to /catalog-automation/jobs.

What you can do here

• View all catalog generation jobs and their current processing status.
• Search jobs by customer name or reference number.
• Filter by status or date range to find specific runs.
• Create a new catalog job for a customer.
• Retry a failed job after fixing the underlying issue.
• Delete completed, failed, or cancelled jobs when they are no longer needed.

Common tasks

1. Open the page from the sidebar under Catalog Automation.
2. Apply a Status or Date Range filter to narrow the list, or search by customer name.
3. Click a row to open the job detail drawer for full execution metadata.
4. To create a new catalog, click New Job and fill in the dialog.
5. To retry a failed job, click the Retry icon on its row.

Notes

• Job status updates arrive in real time — the page does not need to be manually refreshed.
• The Retry action is only available for jobs with status Failed.
• The Delete action is only available for jobs with status Completed, Failed, or Cancelled. In-progress jobs cannot be deleted.
• Deleting a job also deletes its associated catalog and all stored files. This action cannot be undone.
• Only active Definitions are listed in the Create Job dialog. If no active definitions exist, the job cannot be created.

Sorting

The jobs list does not support column-level sorting. Records are returned in reverse-chronological order (newest first) from the server.

Pagination

The list uses a Load More pattern with infinite scroll:

• Page size: 20 records per load
• Scrolling near the bottom of the list automatically loads the next batch
• A message displays the total count when all results are shown
