Most functions will complete instantly when they are clicked, but some take longer. In these cases, the process will turn into a background job; the user can keep working.
Multiple background jobs can run at the same time. Typically you will only see the background jobs started by you.
You will receive a notification if a clicked function has become a background job. While the job is running, you will see a progress indicator progress in the BIMcloud Manager header pop-up.
You are also notified once the background job is complete, with information on whether the job was completed successfully or encountered errors.
