## Complete documentation

The job browser is where you review renders visually and manage many jobs at once. It loads recent jobs first and offers **Load all** when a project has more than 100.

*Search and exact status filters narrow the browser before single or bulk actions.*

- [Annotation 2: Search jobs by name](/docs/web-ui/render-jobs#find-the-right-job)

- [Annotation 3: Open a job to inspect frames and logs](/docs/web-ui/job-details)

## Find the right job

- Search by job name and other visible job text.
- Filter by **Queued**, **Running**, **Blocked: funds**, **Paused**, **Error**, or **Finished**.
- Toggle list and grid views.
- Adjust row/card density.
- Choose visible columns for comparison work.
- Sort where the active view exposes sortable columns.

### List view

Best for comparing state, progress, timing, Blender version, upload type, and other configured columns across many jobs.

### Grid view

Best for scanning render thumbnails and recognizing shots visually. A thumbnail is a review image, not the full output file.

## Status meanings

The status filter lists every state the farm reports. Each filter option matches one state below.

![The job status filter open, listing exact scheduling states such as Blocked: funds](https://superlumin.al/docs/images/web/render-jobs-status-filter.png)

*The status filter next to search, opened. Blocked: funds is a distinct state, not an error.*

| Status | Meaning | Typical next step |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Queued** | Work is waiting for render capacity. | Monitor capacity and balance. |
| **Running** | At least part of the job is actively processing. | Open details for frames, preview, metrics, and logs. |
| **Blocked: funds** | The organization cannot continue because funding is unavailable. | Add credits. Do not assume active machines stayed alive. |
| **Paused** | The job is not dispatching work. | Inspect the cause and resume deliberately. |
| **Error** | Frame or job errors require attention. | Open details, inspect the exact frames and logs, fix, then use **Re-render** as appropriate. |
| **Finished** | Requested frame work reached its terminal successful state. | Verify and download output promptly through Blender. |

## Single-job actions

The action menu supports context-dependent operations such as:

- open the detail page or a new tab
- copy the job link
- pause or resume
- duplicate
- delete

Duplicate creates a new job from the source job's stored input, captured settings, frame range, and packed add-ons. It does not read or upload the `.blend` open on your computer. If local files changed after the original submission, submit again from Blender instead.

## Bulk actions

Select multiple jobs to reveal the applicable pause, resume, or delete controls. The action applies to every selected job, not only the row you clicked last.

### Review destructive scope

Changing filters does not always clear the selection. Before you delete, check the selected count and job names, then read the confirmation dialog.

## Blocked funds

When the organization balance reaches zero, the farm can stop render machines, including machines with active frames. Add credits as soon as a job is blocked. Then check job and frame state. Do not assume that active frames finished.
