You can review, create, and update SDK Job Metadata components from Admin > Operations > SDK Job Metadata. Access to this area is controlled by the Admin: Operations and Admin: Jobs permissions.
Every class implemented using the Job interface must be associated to the required Jobmetadata component, which is invoked when the job runs. The component can be managed via the UI or MDL. Learn more about the Jobmetadata component on the Developer Portal.
When viewing SDK Job Metadata, you may see Vault-supplied SDK jobs which work to deliver various features and have Standard set for the Source. These are read-only.
