What's in a (Batch Manager Job) Name?

The Batch Manager allows you to schedule and run custom programs, most commonly specialized reports and the programs to manage Paused orders for the Gutenberg. The Batch Manager displays all the jobs in its history as a list, which opens Filtered down to just jobs you created as the default, allowing you to easily make a new copy of the jobs you use. But as that list gets long over time, are you able to easily find the job you want to copy?

All custom jobs in the Batch Manager can have a custom name. Usually, when Customer Support adds a job to the Batch Manager for you, we'll go ahead and name it for you, too. But if what made sense to us doesn't make sense to you, that name can be changed!

To use the Gutenberg batch programs as an example: the program to stop the regular sync and unpause/sync just the specified orders was named "EnterSpecialRunP.P" by the programmers, so when adding it to peoples' Batch Managers, I named it "Enter Special Run." Or, if there were different versions for different media, it became "Enter Serials Run" and "Enter Braille Run," and so on.

This kept thing consistent, but it isn't the only option. "Enter Serials Run" and "Exit Special Run" look awfully similar, so for a library that had trouble with running the right one at the right time, Nancy changed those names to "START duplicating SERIALS" and "go BACK to BOOKS". They no longer match how everyone else is set and how it was written in the instructions, but it makes more sense to the people using those programs, and that's the really important part.
Do you use any Batch Manager programs, and if so, do you struggle to remember what they're called? Feel free to either Update the most recent copy, change just the Name, then Save... or just change the Name before Saving the next time you make a new copy. Remember to also update any instructions you have for that program accordingly!

Final Note: please do not change the names of scheduled programs created by "KLAS," such as your routine Nightly programs. We sometimes need to check on those for troubleshooting purposes, so it's easier on us if those keep their consistent naming.
