Overview

The job type defines the kind of job and the actions the job will perform with the content. Five job types are available: basic transfer, folder mapping, user account mapping, network home drive mapping, and intelligent migration. A basic transfer job is the only job that moves content. The other job types create a parent job that automatically creates the necessary child jobs. These child jobs are the transfer jobs that move the content for the convention jobs. 

This is also where you will specify the transfer direction, which determines how content is moved between the source and the destination. See Job Transfer Direction for more information.
