department and category?

There is 2 new colum in the monitor, the Department and Category.



doesn’t seem this is fully implemented yet … is this part of a work in progress?



Will we be able to group job by department and categories in the futur? That would be awesome!


Hi Sylvain,



The Department is just a text property for the job (similar to the

comment field). It can be specified during submission (although it

hasn’t made its way into the submission dialogs yet), or it can be

specified in the job properties.



Categories can be managed in the Tools menu in the monitor (super user

mode). It’s similar to how pools work where you can submit your jobs to

different categories, but it has no effect on rendering. Again, this can

be specified during submission or in the job properties. In addition,

the job filters now has a category section, so you can display jobs for

certain categories only.



We hope that these new fields will make grouping of certain jobs easier

in the future, and we will eventually integrate these features into our

submission dialogs.



Cheers,
