Tasks Panel
Most things in Jobiz that hit the AI run in the background, so you don't have to wait for them. The Tasks panel is the place where every running, queued, or just-finished job ends up: one stop to see what's still working, what's done, and what failed.
Where to find it
On desktop it sits at the top of the sidebar, right under the Jobiz logo and above the Dashboard item. On mobile it appears as a small floating pill in the bottom-left corner while there's something to show, and you can bring it back from the Tasks button at the top of the side menu. When something is running you'll see a spinning loader; when nothing is running it shows a small checklist icon. Hover the trigger and you get a label that summarizes the current state:
- Tasks: nothing happening
- Processing (N): N tasks running right now
- N ready: N completed tasks waiting for you
- N failed: N tasks errored, with details inside
Click the trigger to open the popover. The full panel always opens on the same shell with a "Tasks" header and, when nothing is in flight, a "Dismiss all" button on the right that clears the completed/failed rows.
What ends up in there
Document generation and AI Extractions pipe their progress through the Tasks panel. Specifically:
| Task type | Triggered by |
|---|---|
| Resume | Generating a tailored resume (right-click > Tailor application > Resume, or Resume + Cover Letter) |
| Cover Letter | Generating a tailored cover letter (right-click > Tailor application > Cover Letter, or Resume + Cover Letter) |
| AI Extraction | Running an AI Extraction across the selected jobs (toolbar AI action) |
Quick UI actions (saving the resume form, switching templates, editing a bullet manually) don't show up, since they're synchronous, and neither does the Match Score, which is worked out instantly.
Two display modes
Tasks are shown one of two ways depending on whether they were launched in a batch:
- Single tasks (one resume for one job, one cover letter for one job, an AI Extraction on a single row) display as one row with the doc type and job title on the first line and the company name underneath. A status icon sits on the left.
- Batched tasks (an AI Extraction across multiple selected jobs, a multi-job document generation) collapse into a single row showing the operation name and a
done/totalcounter (e.g. an AI Extraction running across 12 jobs ticks up to 12/12 as each one completes), plus a progress bar. Any failed count appears inline (e.g. "(2 failed)") so you can tell at a glance whether the batch is healthy.
Per-task status
Each row carries a status icon: spinner while running, green check when done, red alert if it errored (with the error message shown inline so you can act on it). Clicking a completed Resume or Cover Letter row opens that document directly in its edit page.
Persistence
The Tasks panel survives navigation: opening a different page doesn't reset the queue, and tasks keep ticking even if you close the popover. So you can fire off a batch, keep working elsewhere in the app, and come back when the panel tells you everything is ready. The footer surfaces a View documents link (it opens the Tailored page) as soon as one of the completed tasks is a resume or cover letter, plus a counter of what's still in progress (or what's ready).
