"description": "Within Orchestrator, a **Process** that is running or has been run is called a **Job**. To start a **Job**, navigate to the body of this call and add the release key obtained in step 2 to the first field.\n\nNow look at the `Strategy` field. This dictates how the process should be run and has 3 options:\n\n 1. _Specific_ - The process will run on a specific set of robots, whose IDs are indicated in the `RobotIds` field.\n 2. _JobsCount_ - The process will run x times where x is the value of the `JobsCount` field. Use this strategy if you don't care on which robots the job runs. Orchestrator will automatically allocate the work to any available robots.\n 3. _All_ - The process will run once on all robots.\n \nLastly, if your job has any input parameters, they can be sent as a JSON string in the `InputArguments` field. If it does not, this field will be ignored."
