# How to manage jobs with the Autobahn tool

Choosing “Run Now” from the menu on the Job Manager or Designer tabs changes the displayed tab to the Running Job tab and begins the execution of the current selected job definition.

The job’s output is displayed on this tab, as well as being added to the Job log files.![Job's Output](@/assets/guides/document-automation-server/document-conversion/image32.png)
