Task Details

Once the task has been submitted, it is possible to display various information on its execution and results in a dedicated Task Details View.

Opening

After submitting a task, you can view detailed information about its execution and results in the Task Details View.

Most commonly the view is access in the following way:

• from the Task Table, by clicking the name of a task,
• directly from the dialog that confirms task submission.

Task Details View is typically opened within the Split View, however you can open it separately by clicking the task's identifier in the Split View or by using a direct URL.

Content

The Task Details View consists of two main parts:

Header

which displays the key information about a task and delivers shortcuts to invoke main actions on it.

Tab panel

which contains a set of tabs for presentation on extensive information about a task, its execution progress and results.

Header

The Header includes the following groups of components.

1. Task information - Key information about the task, including:

   • Task name,
   • Task identifier,
   • Task status.

2. Quick actions - Access to common actions related to the task. Some actions are available directly, while others are grouped under the more menu button. Typical actions include:

   • Submit again – opens the Application Input Form with a configuration similar to this task,
   • Close - closes the Split View and goes back to the Task Table,
   • Cancel – cancels the task's execution,
   • Delete – removes the task from the portal,
   • Raw data – views the task's JSON description,
   • Report – reports a problem with the task to the helpdesk.

3. GUI buttons - For tasks that involve running applications with graphical interfaces (such as JupyterLab, RStudio, or VNC), the Header also features prominent buttons for launching these interfaces.

4. Refreshing timer and button - The timer informs about the time left to the next refresh of infromation about a task, while the refresh button allows to force the instant refresh.

Tab Panel

The Tab Panel provides in-depth information about each task, organized into three main tabs: Overview, Monitoring, and Results.

Overview

The Overview tab displays both static and dynamic properties of the task, grouped into several sections:

1. Basic
   • Template - name of the template used,
   • Submission time - when the task was submitted.
2. Advanced
   • Task ID - internal identifier of the task,
   • Requesting User ID - identifier of the user who submitted the task,
   • Template version - version of the template used,
   • Grant - grant or account used for resource allocation,
   • Current Queue - the queue on the computing system where the task is scheduled.
3. History
   • A chronological list of the task's state changes.

Monitoring

The Monitoring tab allows you to track the progress and status of a running application. It offers two main monitoring features:

1. Monitoring dashboard – Provides a visual overview of the current execution state using graphs, tables, and other graphical components tailored to the specific use case. The dashboard can show execution progress, system load, and other relevant metrics, depending on the scenario. Monitoring dashboards are available only for selected templates.

2. Working directory preview – Gives access to the Integrated File Browser, which displays the remote working directory where the computational job is running. You can browse files and folders in this directory and preview the contents of individual files.

Results

The Results tab displays the outputs generated by the application. In practice, there are two ways QCG-Portal offers:

1. The default mechanism provides access to output files via the Integrated File Browser.

2. For some templates, custom graphical dashboards are available to present results in a more interactive and informative way.
