IMPORTANT:
Jobs should not be retained as they will use system resources simply by existing (the scheduler will have to process them, even if they don't run).

This is why jobs and projects are only retained for 5 days.

Notes:

• The project and all associated jobs can be removed by clicking the Clear Settings button (outlined in purple) on a System which has a Discovery Project and Jobs, where all the project activity has stopped (either scan has completed, or user has manually stopped the scan).
• Clearing the Settings will not only remove the Project and Job records, but it will also reset the system to default settings and selections.

To clear the settings perform the following steps:

Hovering over the Clear Settings icon will show the tooltip "Remove Projects and Jobs".

1. Click on the Clear Settings icon.

The system pop-up message of "Clearing Discover Scan settings NFS - Rack 4" will appear

The system banner message of "Clearing Discover Scan settings NFS - Rack 4" will appear if Connection Addresses are added to the system.

Clearing the Settings will not only remove the Project and Job records, but it will also reset the system to default settings and selections (outlined in blue).

Exploded view of the status message under the Discovery Jobs header.
