Description

While performing operations (such as prioritizing a job or flagging it to not be scheduled) upon specific jobs is well and good, it is not a very powerful tool. Many times, operators want to perform these functions on groups of jobs, specifically, groups that share a key-value pair of metadata. For example, this would allow an operator to move all jobs with the value "10/18" for the metadata key "date".
