As you navigate, each job tab title changes to reflect the current navigation path. When the
path is too long to fit on the tab, hold the mouse pointer over the tab. A tooltip displays the

perform a lookup. When you close the application or the browser, all jobs close without
displaying a confirmation message, and the jobs are lost.

you log in.

click a job tab, a context menu provides three options for closing the job.

right-clicked.
