Each job is a unique configuration of settings that are used to define how a job runs on a computer. Job settings apply to individual jobs and persist when the job is saved. When you package a job to run on another computer, the job settings are saved in the packaged job.

Stop this job if an error occurs

Select this check box to stop the job from completing if an error occurs. This setting is useful when a job takes a long time to run. If an error occurs and this check box is selected, this setting can prevent long wait times. For shorter jobs, it is generally not necessary to stop the job if an error occurs.

Keep all temporary files created by assessments

Select this check box if you want to later review the files that the assessment created while the assessment was running. These files can help you to diagnose problems if the assessment does not generate results. They can be removed as part of cleanup.
