Job watching and auto-import

When you submit a job with auto-import enabled, SiestaStudio watches the job on the cluster and imports the results as soon as the scheduler reports it complete — without you needing to do anything.

How it works

  1. A background poller checks the status of all active jobs every few minutes.
  2. When a job transitions to a terminal state (completed, failed, or cancelled), the studio fetches the output files over SFTP.
  3. Recognized output files are parsed and saved as analyses in your project.
  4. You receive a notification when the import is done (or if the job failed).

Auto-import options

When you submit a job, you can choose how aggressively to import:

  • All outputs — every recognized file type is imported.
  • Primary outputs — only the main analysis files (bands, DOS, and so on).
  • None — watch the status only; pull files manually afterwards.

Cancelling and re-watching

From the Cluster jobs tab you can Cancel a running job or stop watching one that you no longer need tracked. You can also re-enable watching for a previously ignored job.
