Hi,

I would like to get some conceptual input on how to handle the different job states and how a switchclient user can make use of it.



I thought to use the jobstate filed and to populate it always with the relevant state of the flow.

I was not able to see this state at the switchclient - not mentioning sorting according to and so on.



How do I inform a user who gets a job on a checkpoint what she has to do (erro/ action)?



I assume you all did this already and I would be very happy to get some conceptual advice,



Thanks

The JobState should show up on the Switch client. For example, if you're in table view, you can add the "State" column to see it.



When in "Large Card View" you can view defined metadata fields (part of the check point setting).



Does that help answer your question?

You'd think so but JobState is just another variable. Switch doesn't use it for anything. Your flow and scripts can set/get it with any values.

Definitely helps me, thank you Dwight!
