7.6.1 new Activity Monitor job hierarchy feature

[Anonymous]

From the 7.6.1 release notes:

The Activity Monitor has been enhanced to display job hierarchy and now
includes error code hyperlinks under Job Details > Detailed Status. You can
toggle between the flat view and job hierarchical view by clicking on the toolbar
button in the Activity Monitor.

Anyone care to explain further or show what this looks like with screengrab?

Double click on a job, in AM, with the little sign next to it:

You will find a new Tab: Job H.

Many thanks for that, this is a worthwhile feature particularly with snapshot backups.

How does this work when searching and filtering do you know?

Example for Exchange backups the client in the master job has the dag address, but the jobs moving data have different addresses, so if I filter on: client contains "dag" will this just leave the dag, or does the filter work only on the master job, leaving the little sign for users to expand? That would be preferred.

Thanks,Jim

This is the View Job Hierarchy view (right click the job), the standard Activity Monitor view is unchanged, so it will work as before I assume
