Job management
Submit a job from a tool window or a parameter sweep, follow it in the Jobs Dashboard, and act on one job or many.
A Studio job starts when you submit a tool window's form. It runs on the platform's compute backend, and Studio polls it until it finishes. The Jobs Dashboard lists the project's jobs and lets you retry, cancel, archive, share or delete them, one at a time or in bulk.
Submitting jobs
- One run. Open a tool from the Model menu, fill in its form and submit. The window shows the result when the job finishes.
- A parameter sweep. Open Quick Actions → Parameter Sweep Batch, pick a tool, and list the values to vary. Cartesian mode submits one job for every combination of values. Parallel mode pairs the values position by position. Results appear side by side in a comparison grid, where you can sort and filter them by metric.
- Other batch entries. Quick Actions also has Run Multiple Tools, Batch Analysis and Duplicate Jobs. Each opens its own window.
To plan a sweep before you run it, the batch planner window drafts one. Open it with chat on the mode toggle. It suggests parameter tables and job counts. It does not submit anything.
Following jobs
The right sidebar's Pipeline tab lists up to three active jobs. A job counts as active while it is pending, queued, started, processing, reporting progress or running.
For everything else, open Jobs & Discovery → Jobs Dashboard. It lists the open project's jobs and offers these controls:
| Control | Effect |
|---|---|
| Search | Filters jobs by text |
| Status filter | Queued, Processing, Success, Failure, Cancelled or Archived |
| Type filter | Shows one tool's jobs |
| Start date / End date | Limits the list to a date range |
| Only active | Hides finished jobs |
| Refresh | Reloads the list |
| Table / accordion view | Switches the layout |
| Compact mode | Tightens row spacing |
Acting on one job
Each dashboard row has an actions menu. The actions it shows depend on the job's state and your permissions:
| Action | When it appears |
|---|---|
| View Details | Always. Opens a Job Details window |
| Download Results | The job succeeded and has stored results |
| Open Results | The job succeeded |
| Retry Job / Restart Job | The job failed, or was cancelled (Restart Job) |
| Cancel Job | The job is still running |
| Copy Job ID | Always |
| Share Job | You are allowed to share it |
| Archive Job | The job has finished |
| Delete Job | You are allowed to delete it |
The Job Details window has three tabs: Status & Actions, Technical Details and Results & Files. Its header also has Copy Job ID and Create Share Link. Once a link exists, the button reads Share.
Acting on many jobs
Select rows in the dashboard table, then choose Retry, Cancel, Archive or Delete. Each applies to every selected job.
Job statuses
Jobs report one of these statuses:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
PENDING, QUEUED | Submitted and waiting to start |
STARTED, PROCESSING, PROGRESS, RUNNING | Running |
COMPLETED, SUCCESS | Finished successfully. SUCCESS is the older spelling |
FAILED, FAILURE | Finished with an error. FAILURE carries error details |
CANCELLED | Cancelled by a user |
ARCHIVED | Archived by a user |
IMPORTED | Restored from a project export |
The drug-development checklist
The right sidebar's Pipeline tab ends with a seven-step checklist. It is stored with the project, and a successful job of the matching tool ticks its step:
| Step | Ticked by a successful job of |
|---|---|
| Target Identified | BioBERT or ChEMBL |
| Structure Predicted | ESMFold |
| Docking Completed | DiffDock |
| ADMET Evaluated | ADMETlab 3 or ProTox 3 |
| Procurement Ready | ZINC22 supplier lookup |
| Assay Designed | the wet-lab planner (BioBERT wet lab) |
| Validation Complete | the validation monitor |
You can also tick or untick a step by hand. Reset clears all seven. The Next Step card above the checklist names the first unticked step, and Start opens its tool.
Exporting the project
File → Export Project Data opens the export profiles:
| Profile | Format | Contains |
|---|---|---|
| Full Workspace | ZIP | Job results, artifacts, window layout, checklist state and annotations |
| Results Only | ZIP | Job results and artifacts |
| Data Export | CSV | Job results |
| State Snapshot | JSON | Window layout, checklist state and annotations |
| PDF Report | Not implemented. The server returns an error |
You can also define a custom profile. The server records every export in the audit log.
