Managing Jobs Through the Web Interface of Chaos Cloud
In the web interface of Chaos Cloud log in with your Chaos Group account and password.
Projects
The Projects tab hosts all render jobs submitted to Chaos Cloud. It allows organizing jobs in multiple projects, and it is also where you can download the output of your render, resubmit a render, or delete a render from Chaos Cloud. Every render job needs to be allocated to a project.
To create a new empty project, press the button. A small pop-up window asking you to enter a name for your project appears.
If Set as default is enabled, the newly created project becomes the default one, meaning that all subsequent render job submissions are automatically allocated to that project unless changed manually before submission.
To set a new default project, press the button while mouse-hovering over a project.
To delete a project, press the button.
To rename a project, press the button while hovering over a project's name.
Clicking on a project shows its contained render items. Here you can monitor, pause, cancel, delete, or download a render job.
To pause an ongoing render, click on the button while hovering over a render job.
To cancel an ongoing render altogether, click on the button.
To delete a completed render, press the button.
To download a completed render job, press the button.
Clicking on a render job within a project opens the Job Details page. The page displays the finished render if it's finished, information about it, as well as additional controls for downloading, resubmitting, or reporting a job.
