There are several actions that User may perform into his/hers personal workspace. This chapter presents only the available choices, the detailed description of the actions is presented in the corresponding chapters of the "IS-EPOS User Guide".

The upper part of the workspace screen is the same with all the other pages in IS-EPOS web platform (Fields 1, 2 and 3, Figure 1). Portal's pages ('Document Repository', 'AH Episodes', etc.) are shown in Field 1 of Figure 1, whereas field 2 depicts the Profile and affiliations, together with the logout button. The workspace can be accessed from any page, by clicking on the 'My workspace' tab (right side of Field 3, Figure 1). The same field indicates also the current working directory, giving possibility to change it by clicking at any other directory available (indicated by 'D' letter, Field 4, Figure 1). Field 4 includes applications and data that have been already uploaded to the workspace by the User (see "AH Episodes", "Applications" and "Data Dandling Applications" chapters). The Actions that User may perform can be accessed either by choosing the 'Actions' button (field 5, Figure 1), or by clicking on the 3 dots on the right margin of Field 4 (indicated by the purple box), just next to each directory, application or data set. The available actions differ from item to item and are summarized below with a brief description:

LINKING

A new mechanism of linking process was introduced to the IS-EPOS platform. It allows creating links to the data directly to the Data Center and within the User’s Workspace. Previously, user copied the data to the personal workspace and processed it. Now, data can be also linked to user’s workspace and it updates simultaneously with the data on the Platform. Additionally, results of calculations performed on linked data are being updated as well.

Example: Creating Link to the catalog

Choose Episode and seismic Catalog on the IS-EPOS platform (Figure 2):


 Figure 2 IS-EPOS platform  window after selecting Catalog.

 

Then, select 'Action'  button and 'ADD TO WORKSPACE AS LINK IN LOCATION'.


 

Figure 3 Options available through 'ACTIONS' menu located next to Catalog name.

 

In the next step User is allowed to choose a destination where link to the catalog will be created.

After accepting the selection, the link will be created in appropriate  directory. User is now able to conduct scientific research on a file linked to the his personal Workspace, which can be opened by selecting the button: 'My Workspace', situated in upper right corner of the IS-EPOS platform.

DATA UPLOAD

A novel functionality was introduced to the  IS-EPOS Platform - Data upload to the user’s workspace. Now users can process their own data using all tools within the Platform.

Example: Uploading user’s catalog to the IS-EPOS platform

Firstly, click the 'My Workspace' button. Then, select desired directory within the workspace and pick the Options menu (3 squares next to name of the directory) (Figure 5).
