Job list

The Job list enables a user to view and manage YSoft SafeQ print, 3D print, copy, fax, and scan jobs.

Displaying the Job list

The Job list page provides an overview of print, 3D print, copy, fax, and scan jobs in the system. To view the job list, select Reports > Job list.

The Job list page includes default filters, action and view buttons, and the list of jobs.

Some country legislation (i.e. German) requires that nobody, not even an administrator, is able to see personal details (even a job name) in various systems.

To achieve the desired behavior, set the following System configuration options per tenant to these values:

  • showJobTitle: Disabled

  • show-job-user: Disabled

    printJobAccessSafeMode (previously known as smartQ-safe-mode in SQ4/5, the property was set as Internal in YSoft SafeQ 6 before the epic implementation): Enabled

Additionally value of property "web.databaseEditor.enabled" must be set to false in the configuration file c:/SafeQ6/management/conf/safeq.properties:

  • web.databaseEditor.enabled = false

Filtering the Job list

Default job list filters

Use the default filter options to display only specific jobs:

  • Date from – exact time, in 24-hour format

  • Date to – exact time, in 24-hour format

  • Device group – filter by device group

    • When the Device group filter is set to any SPOC server, an informative label about job synchronization is displayed.

  • User/cost center – filter by user/cost center

  • Device – filter by device

  • Queue – filter by queue name
