Ran into something similar Rob.
I've learned to really like the new nav for certain things. It has its place!

subject: Checking status of TCP service jobs
I received a CVE notice recently and it said I had to stop/start a particular service after applying the PTF. Well, being comfortable with the green screen I did that ENDTCPSVR SERVER(servicename) count to 5 STRTCPSVR SERVER(servicename) This was not a good plan. Got some dings because the service wasn't running.
Then, in a move that would make Tim Rowe and Scott Forstie proud, I tried the new Navigator and found the service and noticed it was stopped. So I started it, looked for the server job (all using the GUI) and it stayed running. So even if the GUI is of no use to you except to determine what the server jobs are for a particular service I hope this helps.
In this case I should have done
ENDTCPSVR SERVER(*DIRSRV)
WRKJOB QUSRDIR
wait until it's gone
STRTCPSVR SERVER(*DIRSRV)
WRKJOB QUSRDIR
Make sure it starts.
Also the new Navigator allows me to have all lpars on one screen (even across 3 Power systems). Which makes it much easier to handle that server job restart across the board. Took me a minute to notice that, even though the URL is from the starting system, the current system you're working on is over to the right between the search box and your log off user icon.
