# Working with jobs

### Working with jobs

Create, configure, and then run jobs to orchestrate ETL activities. After running a transformation, analyze its results to identify possible improvements or problems.

* ​[Create a job](https://app.gitbook.com/o/PtpmPYUKgAsUWgv8SVUt/s/dbSFXbJFiObHB299lSSa/pipeline-designer/working-with-jobs/create-a-job)​Create a job to coordinate resources, execution, and dependencies of an ETL activity.
* ​[Edit job properties](https://app.gitbook.com/o/PtpmPYUKgAsUWgv8SVUt/s/dbSFXbJFiObHB299lSSa/pipeline-designer/working-with-jobs/edit-job-properties)​Job properties control how a job behaves and how it logs what it is doing.
* ​[Run a job](https://app.gitbook.com/o/PtpmPYUKgAsUWgv8SVUt/s/dbSFXbJFiObHB299lSSa/pipeline-designer/working-with-jobs/run-a-job)​After you create a job and configure its properties, you can run the job. You can control how the job runs without modifying the job itself by configuring run options before running the job.
* ​[Analyze your job results](https://app.gitbook.com/o/PtpmPYUKgAsUWgv8SVUt/s/dbSFXbJFiObHB299lSSa/pipeline-designer/working-with-jobs/analyze-job-results)​After running a job, see how it performed, if errors occurred, and explore the data by viewing the logs.
