The Jobs subtab (1) of the Monitor tab shows the status, start time, and duration of each dataflow, data sync, recipe, and external data upload job. It shows jobs for the last 7 days.

The Jobs view displays dataflow and upload jobs and their statuses.

    The data manager opens on the Monitor tab, with the Jobs subtab selected by default. It displays each upload job name as <dataset_name upload flow>. You can hover a job to view the entire name.
