1.2 List of JP1/AO features

JP1/AO provides a number of features in several categories. In the first category are automation features that define and execute services that automate work tasks, and in the second are resource management features that manage users, connection destinations, and other resources. The third category are features that link with other products, including email notification when errors occur, and direct access URL which lets you access a specific part of the user interface directly.

The features of JP1/AO are listed in the tables below.
