### 12.2.2. Starting a Batch Job from Repository Files

You can start a batch job directly from a file in the EKM repository provided that a job template has been associated with that file type.

1. Select the file(s) that you want to include in the job.

2. Select (Execute) on the toolbar or context menu, then select a batch job template. The templates that are available on the Execute menu depend on which templates are associated with that file type. For example, if you have selected a Fluent .cas file, the Fluent Batch template will be available.

   If your EKM administrator has configured EKM to run jobs in Slave workspaces, as described in Running Jobs on Slaves from a Master Server, and you are signed in to the Master server, an additional option will be available on the Execute menu. To run the job in a Slave workspace, select the 'On Slave' option and select the Slave workspace for job execution:

   Note: If you do not see a batch job template on the Execute menu (or you do not see the Execute menu at all), this indicates that a batch job template has not been associated with that file type. For more information, see Associating File Types with a Job Template.

3. Continue with setting up the job as described in Setting Up a Batch Job.
