Create a new workspace

A Workspace is assigned to a project and is affected by the project’s quota just like any other workload. A workspace is shared with all project members for collaboration.

To create a new workspace:

  1. Press Workspaces on left menu, then press New workspace.

  2. Select a project from the project tiles. If your project is not listed, use the Search projects box to find a project.

    Note

    • You must have at least one project configured in the system. To configure a project, see Creating a project.
    • You must have at least 1 researcher assigned to the project.

  3. Select a template from the template tiles. If your template is not listed, use the Search templates box to find a template. Choose Start from scratch if you do not have, or want to use a template.

    A template contains a set of predefined building blocks as well as additional configurations which allow the user to immediately create a templated-based workspace.

  4. Enter a name for your workspace and press Continue.

  5. Select an environment from the tiles. If your environment is not listed, use the Search environments box to find it. Press New environment to create an environment if needed.

    1. Press Commands and Arguments to add special commands and arguments to your environment selection.
    2. Press Environment variable to add an environment variable. Press again if you need more environments variables.

  6. Select a compute resource from the tiles. If your compute resource is not listed, use the Search compute resources box to find it. Press New compute resource to create a compute resource if needed.

    1. Select the Storage class from the dropdown.
    2. Select the Access mode from the dropdown.
    3. Enter a claim size, and select the units.
    4. Select a Volume system, mode from the dropdown.
    5. Enter the Container path for volume target location.
    6. Select a Volume persistency. Choose from Persistent or Ephemeral.

    1. Press Auto-deletion to delete the workspace automatically when it either completes or fails. You can configure the timeframe in days, hours, minuets, and seconds. If the timeframe is set to 0, the workspace will be deleted immediately after it completes or fails.
    2. Press Annotation to a name and value to annotate the workspace. Repeat this step to add multiple annotations.
