created Status

Before you can process jobs with the Queue object you need to create jobs. Jobs get created by calling the Queue.createJob method. A newly created job will have a status of created and does not exist in the queue database table. The created status is used to prevent invalid queue function calls prior to the job being added to the queue.

Once a job is added to the queue the created job status will no longer be assigned.
