# Run and schedule jobs {: #run-and-schedule-jobs }

After you assemble a custom job with the required environment and files, you can run the job, schedule a run, or both. In the **Registry**, on the **Jobs** tab, click the job you want to run in the table. The run options are in the upper-right corner of the custom job panel:

Option       | Description
-------------|------------
Run          | Starts a custom job run immediately and opens the run on the **Runs** tab, where you can [view custom job run information](#view-and-manage-job-runs).
Schedule     | Opens the **Schedule run** section. Select either **Simple schedule**, entering frequency and a time (in UTC) to run the custom job. Or, click **Advanced schedule** to provide a more precise run schedule. Once you've configured a schedule, click **Set schedule**.

## View and manage job runs {: #view-and-manage-job-runs }

When you run a custom job (or a scheduled run completes), the run information is recorded, allowing you to review the run information and view and manage run logs. This is helpful for diagnosing issues when a run fails. In the **Registry**, on the **Jobs > Runs** tab, locate and click the run you want to view from the list and review the **Run results** and **Run description** (and **Runtime parameters** if provided):

Field              | Description
-------------------|------------
Run results        | The **Status**, **Duration**, and **Logs** of the selected job run. The **Logs** section provides the following options: <ul><li>**View log:** Opens the **Console Log** window in DataRobot where you can click **Search**, **Refresh**, and **Download Log**. You can view logs while the run is still in progress, clicking **Refresh** to keep them up-to-date. </li><li>**Download log:** Downloads the log as a `.txt` file.</li><li>**Delete log:** Permanently deletes the log for a run, typically used if you accidentally logged sensitive information.</li></ul>
Run description    | A description of the job run. To edit the description, click the edit icon (:material-pencil:{.lg }) next to the field contents.
Runtime parameters | If you uploaded a `metadata.yaml` file and configured runtime parameters during the custom jobs assembly process, this table displays the key-value pairs.

!!! warning "Do not log sensitive information"
    Do not log sensitive information in your custom job code. The logs for a custom job run contain any information logged in that job's code. If you log sensitive information, delete those logs.
