If you select the option to manually add job status timelines to jobs, you can assign and manage them in the Job Builder and My Jobs, depending on the timeline settings determined in Job Manager.

Timeline settings

Timeline settings can be configured in Job Manager by a user with full access to Job Settings in Roles and Permissions. These settings help determine whether job status timelines can be added to jobs automatically or manually via the Job Builder and My Jobs. Click here to learn more.
