Create Job

A job is made up of at least one task containing the file information that is to be assigned to devices added to the job criteria.

Smart Search is used in the job criteria to specify which devices are to be included in a job. It provides the capability to search for Devices either using a human-readable query string or using an Elasticsearch full-fledged query format.

Sample input request body containing Smart Search job criteria:

{ "smartSearch": { "queryString": "(xxxxxxxxxx)", "type": "device", "accountId": 2, "hierLevel": "All" } }

Job name should be unique. Initial progressStatus is “Pending”.

Required permission: job-create, device-read, filemeta-read, file-meta-assign
