What Are Jobs?
A job is comprised of one or more missions. This is shown below:
One job contains one or more missions. The duration of a job spans from the first mission’s start time to the last mission’s end time. If a new mission’s start time occurs within 5 minutes of an existing job’s end time, the new mission will be added to the existing job (and the job duration is updated), otherwise a new job will be created.
Each mission is limited to 15 minutes of capture time by the Cordel hardware (this is configurable, but currently 15 minutes is the standard among the hardware we operate).
Mission data is only captured when the vehicle the Cordel hardware is mounted to has commenced moving and is greater than a minimum threshold. This may result in some small gaps in the available data when looking at related/close-by missions.

The Job Search page contains a list of jobs that have been uploaded to your Cordel Connect environment.
Each job listed includes a summary of the job details, including:

-
The total distance covered by all the missions in the job
-

How to search for jobs
The fields along the top row of the Jobs Search Page allows users to search by Job Name/Description, Job Status or Job start/End Date.
Name/Description: Each job has a name and a description. To search for a job that goes from "London to Ibiza" enter that text into the leftmost textbox and click the 'Submit' button.
Status: Jobs are assigned a status based on their current state in the processing pipeline. Select the status of the job you are searching for and click the 'Submit' button.
Start/End Date: It is possible to use either or both of the date range fields to search for a job. When clicked, they will open a calendar selection tool. Select the start and/or end date of the job you are searching for and click the 'Submit' button.
