Running and queing panes should filter my jobs by default. Refresh and search buttons are small and sit too near the top bar. Overall v useful app.

App is never able to "load HECToR status", the refresh/search bar is squashed up at the top of the screen (they should be moved to a menu option). I can't comment on any other functionality as I've never got it working.

It's ok. Would be better to filter the user's jobs rather than show the whole queue. Showing the next planned maintenance day would also be useful.
