Hi @Azarudeen s,
Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.
It seems like the issue you're having is that WebJobs is in preview, and you cannot use it. The reason is primarily shown in the message at the top of your WebJobs panel: "Remote storage is required for WebJob operations."

1. WebJobs needs Azure Storage to store logs, job scripts, and execution details. Without remote storage, WebJobs will not work.
2. Go to Settings > Configuration in your App Service.
3. Under Application Settings, verify that the "AzureWebJobsStorage" setting has the correct connection to your Azure Storage Account.
4. In case you do not have a Storage Account, create a one by using the Azure Portal and get the connection string from the "Access keys" section.
5. Once you have updated the connection string, restart your App Service so that the changes may take place.
6. Now, create a WebJob: Navigate to "WebJobs (preview)" and click "Add".
7. If you are on the free tier of App Service, WebJobs may not be available. You may need to upgrade your App Service plan in order to use this feature.
8. If you are still experiencing issues, refer to the logs in the Azure Portal under "Diagnose and Solve Problems" for error messages.
9. Refer to: Environment variables and app settings reference - Azure App Service | Microsoft Learn about WEBSITES_ENABLE_APP_SERVICE_STORAGE.
