Masking jobs
All these Masking service processes are structured as monitorable jobs within the system's Jobs Monitoring panel.
Each job has a designated start time and end time, allowing users to track progress and ensuring transparency and control over the data masking processes. Monitoring also facilitates troubleshooting by providing historical data on job execution, performance, and any issues that may have arisen.

Masking jobs statuses
Masking job status is an indicator that reflects the current state of a job within its lifecycle, providing insights into its progress, success, or any issues encountered from initiation to completion. It allows users to monitor and manage the execution of a job, making it a critical component for operational management and troubleshooting.
