Hello, i'm using the software right now, it's great so far, but I can't seem to pause the job, or resume it, I can only stop the job from running. Is there a way to pause the job while it's running? maybe hitting the pause key or a hot key of some sort. Is that possible? Thanks!

Hi ya there, You cannot actually pause a job or resume it, unless you have configured it in the job it self. For example, you could put through an "If Window Opens" action that will change the flow of a job, by redirecting it to a Message box, that would wait for an "ok" in order to resume. It all depends on the Job's task. I was actually interested in this feature myself, but then I thought it might not be so handy, since you would never be able to tell whether a job has completed as it should. For example, you would not really want to pause an sql statement sent to a server, or an FTP Upload/Download. However, I will forward your request to the Developer's Dpt and let them decide whether it will cause more problems rather than solve. What tasks would you like to use the pause button for? Do you have something in mind? Samantha :)
