Workflow Runs

Workflow runs are the actual applications of workflows to entities like image files. There is typically one workflow run per entity. The individual workflow runs are listed in the left side-bar. The tasks and jobs of the currently selected entity

New Run

The dropdown at the top lists the source tasks which can start a new run. Clicking the “New Run” button opens the UI of the selected source task. As a shortcut, double-clicking the task also opens the respective UI to start a new run.

Mouse Interactions

  • Dragging the tasks allows rearranging the graph.

  • Dragging the background allows panning.

  • Using the mouse wheel while pressing the CTRL key allows zooming.

  • Double-clicking a task typically opens the result image, or the job information view.

  • Double clicking a task while pressing the CTRL key is a convenient shortcut to open the task configuration dialog.

Run Context Menu

The right-click context menu on an individual run in the left side-bar contains various commands like:

  • Rename Run

  • Copy Run: Duplicates the run. This allows experimenting with different settings.

  • Obsolete Run: Soft-delete. The run still exists on disk. To delete obsolete runs permanently, an admin user should use the Disk Space UI.

  • Priority: Allows pausing specific runs or marking them as high priority so their jobs are processed first.

Job Context Menu

The right-click context menu on an individual job contains various commands like:

  • Restart New Job: Allows to redo an interactive step, or run a processing step again after changing the task configuration.

  • Abort Job

  • Rename Job

  • View Job Information: This contains useful information like the detailed processing output.

  • Append task

Sub-menus provide additional functionality:

  • Results: Operations on the result images etc. like viewing, comparing, copying or downloading.

  • Task: Operations on the task like configuring, cloning, appending, or toggling favorites.

  • Task Type: Operations on the task type like switching versions, or checking out the script files for developing custom processing tasks.

Switching between Runs and Editor

The small Switch to editor text in the corner is a convenient way to open and switch between the workflow editor tab and the workflow runs tab of an active workflow.

Starring Favorites

Input and output parameters can be marked as favorites in the Results context-menu, the task configuration dialog, or the workflow editor.

Favorited parameters are previewed in the workflow runs view. For 3D images for example a 2D preview is shown, or for numeric parameters the name and value is shown.

Favorited parameters are also useful for example in table reports or chart reports.
