"description": "Within Orchestrator, a **Process** that is running or has been run is called a **Job**. To start a **Job** you need to hand over at least the following request body input parameters:\n\n1. `ReleaseKey`: The ID you get in the previous step _GET Releases by name_. The Orchestator needs this key to run a specific version of a process.\n2. `Strategy`: For modern folders we recommend to make use of _ModernJobsCount_.\n3. `JobsCount`: How often the job will be executed.\n4. `InputArguments`: If your job has input parameters, they can be sent as a JSON string in the _InputArguments_ field. If it does not, this field will be ignored. See how input arguments are handed over in this example.\n\nFind more details on how to start of job [here](https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/docs/managing-jobs)."
