Job Payload

The Job Payload consists of the "functional" part of the job, and is broken into two parts. The Elements, which are the job tasks, and the Connections, which defines what sequence to process the tasks in.

Name	Type	Description
elements	array	An array defining the various job elements. Each element object has a uid that uniquely identifies it, a kind that specifies the type of object, a task object that defines the generic task behavior, and a payload.
connections	array	An array defining how the various task elements are connected.
