Offline and Archived Jobs
The Offline and Archived Jobs window lets you find jobs that are not shown in the Jobs list; offline jobs and archived jobs, and bring them back. The window has two tabs; Offline Jobs and Archived Jobs. Click a tab (icon) to work with that type of job.
An offline job contains all the data of an online job, including results, status, and metadata. The key difference is that an offline job is not loaded into memory and is not processed by the Apogee server. Offline jobs are excluded from the general Jobs list. As a result:
•They do not appear in the Jobs list
•They are not visible in web applications such as WebApproval and WebFlow
•They are not shown in PlateMaker
•Notifications and messages related to offline jobs are hidden.
An archived job has been archived to an Archived folder and, when Cloud Archiving is configured, to the Cloud. You can search for archived jobs and restore them from the Offline and Archived Jobs window.
NOTE: These features require special licenses.

•Bring Online: Loads an offline job and sets it to the online state, preserving its previous status and settings. The job will reappear in the Jobs list.
•Duplicate: Creates a new job by duplicating the selected offline job. The result is identical to duplicating a job in the online state.
•New From Selected: Generates a new job using the ticket template of the selected offline job. This behaves the same as creating a new job from a selected online job.
NOTE: This action can only be performed on one job at a time. If multiple jobs are selected, the command is disabled just as with online jobs.
•Delete: Removes the offline job from the system. If the job is marked for archiving and is finished, it will be archived before deletion. This behavior is consistent with online jobs.
•Archive: Archives the selected offline job. The result is the same as archiving a job in the online state.
•Close: Closes the dialog without applying changes or triggering any actions.
