# Enabling and Disabling Job

## Overview

When a Scheduled Job is added to Decisions, it has the option to enable or disable it manually. Upon disabling the Job, the Job Schedule's settings remain are ineffective. Enabling the job continues its use and adheres to the Job Schedule's settings. These functions are only available when at least one Scheduled Job is added. With v8.13 a delete job action has been added that will remove the job permanently.
