Glossary​

Null Job: A job type that performs no running on any platform. Null jobs are used to hold dependencies, trigger OpCon events, and keep schedules open after all other jobs complete.

Schedule: A named container for jobs in OpCon, built for a specific date to create that day's automation. Schedules define build settings, frequencies, and the jobs that run within them.

Job: The fundamental unit of work in OpCon. A job defines what to run, on which machine, when to start, and what conditions must be met. Job results are tracked and can trigger events and notifications.
