Property Features

The following property features can be enabled or disabled for Operations Manager.

Service Config Editor

Using the toogle switch in the upper-right, properties can also be enabled or disabled via the Advanced editing view, which displays the current service configuration in JSON format. For example, to enable the maximizeJobTasksOnLoad property, you can define it under the properties key as follows:

"properties" : {
    "maximizeJobTasksOnLoad": true
}

The maximizeJobTasksOnLoad property is a feature flag to help users who are accustomed to seeing all running jobs and automations, including the workflow canvas, as it is being worked. When this feature is enabled, it displays the workflow within the Job Details view. Users can also enlarge the workflow canvas for better visualization.
