'The "File" and "Edit" menu offer options to load, save and run a job and to modify the configuration of the batch system. For each application which is known to the batch system, a separate pulldown menu lists the available modules. Depending on the application, these modules may be grouped into submenus. Application specific defaults can be edited by choosing "Edit Defaults" from the application menu. The toolbar offers some shortcuts to frequently used operations (e.g. load, save, run).'
'Jobs are saved as MATLAB .m files. These files contain a MATLAB script, which can be executed in MATLAB to recreate the job variable. Multiple jobs can be loaded at once. This allows to concatenate parts of a job.'
'Most actions are accessible via toolbar or buttons in the main figure window. Two important exceptions are:'
'If a batch fails because modules depend on each other, but default execution order is wrong, then the batch can be run module by module instead.'
