Master Jobs Overview

Master jobs are the permanent definitions that OpCon copies into the daily queue during schedule build. From the Library > Master Jobs page you can add new jobs, copy an existing job to reuse its configuration, move a job to a different schedule, view all places a job is referenced before deleting it, and permanently delete jobs that are no longer needed.
