Batch Manager

Use this command to pause selected batches, removing all pending tasks and setting their status to 'Paused'.

• Tasks already in progress will continue to completion.
• Pausing is required before certain operations, such as resetting or updating the batch process.

Use this command to resume processing on a batch that is currently paused. Tasks for the current step will be submitted, and the batch status will change to 'Ready'.

• Only batches in the 'Paused' status can be resumed.
• A task is submitted for each item in scope that has not already been processed.

Use this command to move a batch to a different step in its Batch Process, reprocessing items as needed.

• The batch must be paused before this command can be used.
• Select the 'Target Step' to specify where the batch should resume.
• Use 'Steps To Reset' to choose which steps' tasks should be deleted and reprocessed.
• Set 'Reset Scope' to control whether all items, only items in error, or only completed items are reset.
• Enable 'Clear Statistics' to remove all statistics for the selected steps (only available when 'Reset Scope' is set to 'All').
• This command is useful for correcting errors, reprocessing data, or rerouting a batch through specific steps.

The Update Process command allows you to assign a new Batch Process to an existing Batch, or to remove the current process association.

Overview

Use this command to:

• Change the workflow for a batch by selecting a different Batch Process.
• Start the batch at a specific Batch Process Step within the selected process.
• Remove the process association entirely, if no process is specified.

> Note: The batch must be paused before this command can be used.

Usage Notes

• When a new Batch Process is selected, the batch will be updated to use the latest published version of that process.
• You can optionally select a specific Batch Process Step where processing should begin.
• If no process is specified, any existing process will be removed from the batch.
• This command is useful for rerouting batches, updating workflows, or recovering from process design changes.
• Only paused or completed batches can be updated; active batches must be paused first.

Overview

The Delete command permanently removes the selected Node or nodes from the repository, including all child nodes and associated files.

• All descendants of the selected nodes are also deleted.
• Any files or resources associated with deleted nodes are removed from the File Store.
• The operation cannot be undone.

Usage

Use this command to remove unwanted configuration objects, folders, or other nodes.

• The command is only available when all selected nodes are writable, not system nodes, and their parent is not read-only.
• If any node cannot be deleted due to references or permissions, the operation will be blocked and an error message will be shown.

The New button opens the Create New Batch dialog, allowing you to configure and create a new production batch in the Batch Manager. When clicked, a dialog appears where you can specify properties such as the Batch Process and other batch details.

• Use this button to initiate a new batch processing workflow.
• After configuring the batch, click OK in the dialog to add the new batch to the Batch List.
• The new batch will appear in the list and can be managed like any other batch.

> Tip: Creating a new batch is the starting point for processing new sets of documents or data in Grooper.

The Refresh button reloads the batch list in the Batch Manager, ensuring that all displayed information is current.

• Use this button after performing operations that may change the batch set, such as creating, deleting, or updating batches.
• Refreshing ensures that any changes made by you or other users are immediately visible.

> Tip: If you do not see expected changes in the batch list, click Refresh to update the view.

The Filter button opens the Batch Filter dialog, where you can set criteria such as process, step, activity, and status to narrow the list of displayed batches.

• Click this button to open the filter dialog and select filter options.
• After setting your criteria, click Save in the dialog to apply the filter.
• The batch list will update to show only batches matching your selected criteria.

> Tip: Use filtering to focus on batches relevant to your current workflow or area of responsibility.

The Search button enables you to quickly locate batches in the Batch Manager by entering a batch name or keyword.

• Enter a search term in the search box and click the Search button.
• The batch list will update to show only batches whose names or properties match the search term.
• This feature is ideal for quickly finding a specific batch without opening the filter dialog.

> Tip: Use search to instantly narrow down large batch lists and locate batches by name or keyword.

The Page Navigator control allows users to move between pages of batches when the result set is large. It displays the current page, total page count, and provides navigation buttons for first, previous, next, and last pages. Use the navigation controls to quickly access different pages of the batch list. The page navigator is typically located above or below the batch list in the Batch Manager interface.

The Batch List control presents the current page of batches, allowing users to select, open, and interact with batches. Users can multi-select batches, use keyboard navigation, and access context menu commands for batch operations. Selecting a batch displays its details in the info viewer. The list supports filtering and searching to help users quickly locate specific batches.

The Batch Info Viewer displays properties, status, and processing progress for the selected batch. When a batch is selected in the batch list, its details are shown in this panel, including key metadata and current processing state. This helps users monitor and review batch information at a glance.
