Introduction

When troubleshooting builds or monitoring project activity, you may need to view all jobs running or completed for a specific CircleCI project in a consolidated list view. The Legacy Jobs View provides a comprehensive list of all jobs for your project, including currently running jobs, completed jobs, and jobs with SSH access enabled. This view is particularly useful for identifying forgotten SSH connections, monitoring job status across workflows, or finding specific job runs when the standard pipeline view becomes difficult to navigate.

Prerequisites

Before accessing the Legacy Jobs View, ensure you have:

Access to the CircleCI web application
Permissions to view the project in question
The project's organization, VCS (Version Control System), and project name information

Instructions

Step 1: Navigate to Your Project's Pipeline View

Log in to the CircleCI web app
Select your organization from the sidebar
Navigate to Pipelines in the left sidebar
Use the project filter to select your specific project, or click on any pipeline for the project you want to view

Step 2: Access the Legacy Jobs View

Once viewing your project's pipelines, look at the current URL in your browser's address bar
The URL will look similar to: https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/your-org/your-project
Add /jobs to the end of the URL
Your final URL should look like: https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/your-org/your-project/jobs
Press Enter to navigate to the Legacy Jobs View

URL Format Examples:

GitHub: https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/gh/your-org/your-project/jobs
Bitbucket: https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/bb/your-org/your-project/jobs

Step 3: Understanding the Jobs View

The Legacy Jobs View displays:

All jobs for the selected project in chronological order
Job status indicators (running, success, failed, canceled)
Job names and their associated workflow information
Build numbers for easy identification
SSH-enabled jobs that may still be active

Outcome

After completing these steps, you will have access to a comprehensive list view showing all jobs for your project. This view allows you to:

Quickly identify currently running jobs
Locate specific job runs by build number or name
Find and access SSH-enabled jobs that may need cancellation
Monitor job history without expanding individual pipeline views

Additional Notes

Important Limitations:

The Legacy Jobs View is read-only and primarily for informational purposes
You cannot cancel, rerun, or perform other actions directly from this view
To take actions on jobs (cancel, rerun, view logs), you must click on the specific job to navigate to its associated pipeline or workflow

For SSH Jobs: If you need to cancel an SSH-enabled job found in this view, click on the job entry to navigate to the workflow page where you can access the cancel option through the "Rerun" menu.

Alternative Methods: For programmatic access to job information, consider using the CircleCI API v2 to retrieve job details and status information.
