Development paths imply connections between different jobs.
Once you connect job libraries to a development library when creating or editing it, all jobs of those libraries populate the table on the Paths tab. So you can start creating connections between jobs by building development paths.
It is possible to connect one job or multiple jobs to a specified job.
The total number of jobs available in the connected job libraries is shown above the table.
From the table, you can see the following information on each job:
- Job ID
- Job library
- Job name
- Number of connected jobs
- Number of journey where a job is available
- Tags
If you decide to manage definite job records and select them in the table, you can view the number of selected records on the command bar. Clicking the selected number indicator allows you to deselect those records at a time.
Manage connection
To create a development path, follow the steps listed below:
1. On the Paths tab of the development library page, point to a job record for which you want to add connections, click the three dots button, and then click Manage connection in the context menu that appears. Otherwise, you can just click the job record.
2. On the job page that opens for building a development path, you can see the following blocks:
-
- Incoming jobs. If the current job you have opened has connections, its incoming jobs are shown here.
- Your selected job. The current job you have opened is shown here.
- 5 steps. Each step corresponds to the connection level. In total, each selected job can get up to 5 levels of connection. You can add one job or multiple jobs on each step meaning that it is possible to add as many connections as you need.
3. To add a job to the path, click Add jobs.
4. In the Add job pane that opens, click the job you want to add.
You can locate the job you need by searching for it with the help of the search bar or browsing jobs by their taxonomies with the help of the Browse option.
5. To add a job to the next level, move the focus to the job, to which you want to add a job, by clicking it. Repeat steps 3-4.
Changes you make take effect immediately. You get notified once a job is added to the path.
6. Once you are done with building a path, go back to the Paths tab of the development library page. To this end, click the back arrow in the top left-hand corner of the page.

When building a development path, you can apply the following actions to a job shown in one of the available blocks:
- Show details: allows viewing the job details in a separate pane.
To manage the job in the job library, click Open in job library in the pane. - Remove job: allows removing the job form the path.
It is not possible to remove a job from the Incoming jobs and Your selected job blocks. This command is disabled. - Set as your selected job: allows moving the job to the Your selected job block.
