How to Close a Single Job or Jobs in Bulk
How to Reopen a Closed Job
Overview
Closing jobs in iCat isn’t just housekeeping — it’s one of the most important actions you can take to keep your system running fast, clean, and error-free.
When old jobs remain open, they create digital clutter.
The more open jobs you keep, the heavier and slower everything becomes:
Contents Administration
Every possible search and query
Mobile list views
All mobile production queries
Manager dashboards
Job searches
Reporting & statistics
And if you haven’t been using Delivery or Disposal functions regularly, that unprocessed data compounds the problem.
Just like you wouldn’t let old contents pile up in your warehouse, you shouldn’t let old jobs pile up in your software.
You Can Start Anytime (Even If You’ve Never Closed Jobs Before)
If you haven’t closed jobs historically, it’s totally fine — you can start now.
From the Manage Jobs view, iCat allows you to:
Select multiple completed jobs
Close them in bulk
In just a few minutes, you can clear years of old jobs and immediately feel the difference in speed and clarity.
How to Close Jobs
You can close jobs directly from the Manage Jobs list using the Close Jobs action menu.
How to Reopen a Job
If you ever need to reopen a job:
Go to Manage Jobs
Filter by Status = Closed
Click on the job ID to open the Job Dashboard
Go to Job Config
Select Resume Job
Final Reminder
Keeping iCat clean is just as important as keeping your warehouse clean.
Regularly closing completed jobs ensures:
Faster performance
Cleaner views
More accurate reporting
Less confusion for your teams
A smoother experience across every part of the platform
A tidy iCat is a powerful iCat.
