Multiple ways to release jobs?

Hi everyone. I have a bpm that uses the “Job Released” checkbox in Job Entry to send out an email.
It’s assumed that the user is releasing jobs one by one in Job Entry (because that’s what I was told). In testing everything works, however I moved this BPM to Live (where I’m not the one releasing the jobs) and the behavior is not the same. My question is, in what other ways can a job be released? Is there a way to “mass” release jobs?

Thank you!

Yes. One area is Job Status Maintenance.

Also check if someone has set the Auto Job release process to run

Production Management / Job Management / General Operations

There are many more ways to release jobs - planning workbench, quick job entry, order job wizard to name a few more. I would look at a data directive instead. Also think about what happens if a job is un-released, since that happens too.
