Create jobs in the Workflow Manager web app

A job is a single unit of work in ArcGIS Workflow Manager. In some organizations, this might be known as a work order or a task. Jobs can be assigned to a user or a group and can be scheduled for completion by a certain date. Jobs are created from a job template, which outlines the scope and properties of work and contains additional details to help complete steps in a workflow. Complete the steps in the following sections to create jobs in the Workflow Manager web app.

Tip:

If you have a license for the ArcGIS Workflow Manager Server Advanced role, you can create recurring jobs according to a schedule you set and use a webhook to automatically create a job every time an ArcGIS Survey123 survey is submitted.
