Job promotion and demotion
When new jobs are created in a migration project, they are placed at the end of the job list by default. While this is functional, it can cause confusion because standard jobs created by the Create standard jobs feature are arranged in a recommended top-to-bottom execution order.
Although jobs do not need to be run in that exact sequence, it is considered best practice to assemble them logically from top to bottom. This makes the flow of the migration easier to follow and aligns with the recommended defaults. Within each job, steps are executed according to their internal step order hierarchy. For details, see Step order.
Promoting and demoting jobs
Jobs can be reordered directly from the Job List table:
- Promote a job by selecting the upward-facing arrow in the job's row.
- Demote a job by selecting the downward-facing arrow in the job's row.
This allows new jobs to be placed in a position that makes sense relative to the standard sequence.
Resetting to default order
Selecting Reset to Default Order restores the full list of jobs to the original ordering. This option is most relevant when using standard jobs, since those are generated in a recommended top-to-bottom execution sequence.
