The SubSchedule Information dialog provides details about the daily copy of a selected Container job or subschedule. Access it by right-clicking on a subschedule in the List, Matrix, or PERT views.
The Job Container Details tab includes:
- Schedule Date: The date the subschedule was scheduled to run
- Parent Schedule Name: The name of the schedule of the selected Container job.
- Job Name: The name of the selected Container job
- Job Status: The current status of the selected Container job
- Job Type: The job type; for a subschedule, this is a Container job
- Department: The department under which the selected subschedule runs
- Priority: The priority of the selected subschedule as defined in the frequency
- Frequency: The frequency at which this subschedule runs
- Scheduled Time: The expected start time of the parent schedule
- Estimated Run Time (min): The estimated run time of the selected job
- Start Time: An asterisk (*) indicates the expected start time; no asterisk indicates the actual start time
- End Time: An asterisk (*) indicates the subschedule has not completed and shows the estimated end time; no asterisk indicates the finished time
- Real Elapsed Run Time (hh:mm): The subschedule's real elapsed run time after it finishes
- Job Dependencies Tab: Lists all jobs the selected job depends on, including dependency type, schedule date, schedule name, job name, status, and options. Satisfied dependencies display in blue; unsatisfied in red. Select a job to open its Job Information dialog
- Th/R Dependencies Tab: Lists all threshold and resource dependencies, including name, operator, required value, and current value. Satisfied dependencies display in blue; unsatisfied in red. Select a threshold dependency to resolve it manually
- Post Processes Tab: Lists post-process events, thresholds, values, and job status for the selected subschedule
- Subsequent Jobs Tab: Lists all jobs dependent on the selected job, including schedule date, schedule name, and job name. Select a job to open its information
- Documentation Tab: Displays documentation for the subschedule, including any hyperlinks. Refer to Entering and Opening Hyperlinks in Documentation Frame
- Configuration Tab: Allows reconfiguration of platform-specific details and review of advanced job information. Follow Steps 1–6 of the Getting Container Job or subschedule Information procedure, then follow the Adding Job Configuration Parameters procedure starting at Step 6
The Schedule Details tab includes:
- Schedule Date: The date the subschedule was scheduled to run
- Schedule Name: The full Schedule Name Identifier — a concatenation of the parent schedule, Container job name, and referenced subschedule
- Status: The current status of the selected subschedule
- Start Time: An asterisk (*) indicates the expected start time; no asterisk indicates the start time as defined in the Schedule Master
- End Time: Displays Not Finished if incomplete; displays the finished time when complete
- Post Processes Tab: Lists post-process events, thresholds, values, and job status for the selected subschedule

Glossary
Subschedule: A schedule that runs as a child process within a Container job, allowing hierarchical, nested workflow automation where a parent schedule can trigger and monitor an entire child schedule.
Container Job: A job type that runs a subschedule. Container jobs enable hierarchical schedule structures and support properties and events just like standard jobs.
Frequency: A set of rules that defines when a job or schedule is eligible to run, based on calendar rules, day-of-week settings, period offsets, and other timing criteria.
Threshold: A numeric variable stored in the OpCon database used to control job execution. Jobs can be made dependent on threshold values, and OpCon events can update threshold values at runtime.
Department: An organizational grouping in OpCon used to assign jobs to logical divisions. User roles can be scoped to specific departments, controlling which jobs a user can manage.
Resource: A numeric variable in OpCon representing a finite pool. Jobs can be configured to require a set number of resource units to run, limiting concurrent executions and preventing resource contention.
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.
