Launch the Qube Artist View UI
To launch the Artist View, do this:
...
Notice that in the panel below, you can look at the Job Properties on one tab, and the Output on the next two tabs (Output Log & Error Log).
Interact with a Job
Let's retry one of your test jobs. You might want to do this if the job is working, but you have changed some of the input files and want to rerun it without changing any of the job's parameters. Just right-mouse on the job line in the Jobs panel, and choose Retry:

There are other job-related tasks you can perform - for more details, see the User's Guide.
Watching Progress
Once a job is running, if it takes more than a few seconds (and most do) then you will want to keep an eye on progress. By default, the UI does not refresh itself, meaning that as the job progresses, nothing will change in the interface. You can force a change by clicking on the refresh button

or you can configure Qube to automatically update the UI every so often. To do this, go to Edit in the top menu and choose Preferences. Click on Auto Refresh / Interval. You can leave the refresh interval at 60 seconds, or make it shorter or longer. Note that asking the Supervisor for an update every few seconds puts more load on it, and if there are many artists all doing the same thing, you could be slowing down the overall farm just for the sake of convenience. Think twice before asking for lots of updates you aren't going to be noticing anyway.
