Creating jobs

A job is a series of steps that constitute a process, usually a build. Job steps are processed one at a time in the order you specify.

The steps that are used to create a job are taken from plug-ins. A plug-in step can be thought of as distinct pieces of automation. By combining steps from various plug-ins, you can create fully automated processes. The number of steps that are provided by a particular plug-in can vary, and each step has a variable number of properties. Property values can be supplied when defining a job or entered at run time.
