"Jobs" was the main window that CostView showed at the opening. This window displayed all job information.

Jobs overview

The module section was divided into:

• Search.
• Jobs list. Jobs are filed in a tab. Its columns are the job’s name, date, and hour when the process started, the job’s printer, the job’s RIP, the total cost, and the total CO2 emission.
• There are also two other columns: one with an eye that displays the job’s image when you move your mouse over it. The other one is used to show you warnings. If this icon appears; it means that at least one cost or value was missing when the job has been added.
• Page numbering. This bloc informs you which jobs CostView is displaying and allows you to navigate between the pages.

Search

This feature allowed you to filter the jobs list:

Job information

This tab displays Spooler information about the job. It is divided into four parts.
