Running a manual job
Besides scheduling your project you can also run a job manually. There are two options to do that:
While setting up a project, you can choose the scraping frequency. In the dropdown you can find the option "Just scrape once". When you chose this option and click on the "save project" button, then a job will be triggered and starts right away.

You can run a manual job for every project, by clicking on "Run job now" in the project detail page. This option is available for all projects, so it does not matter if the status is "Scheduled" or "Not scheduled".

However, a new job can just be started if there is no other job currently running. All jobs have to be finished for this project, in order to start a new one.
