• Bugs in de.sciapps.org
  • Can't save the modifications of workflow name and description
  • The workflow saved after completion does not contain jobs (not sure whether this is a bug to de only)
• Improvements
  • Would like to have a 'refresh' button for 'My workflows'
  • Add 'Clear' for History so we don't need to refresh the page
  • Add a direct link to each workflow so we can build a data.maizecode.org page
    • Also add 'workflow id' to all inputs and outputs so we can load the workflow from the data common page
    • Do we check authentication for public and private workflows?
  • For apps, we need to support pre-loaded categorized app jsons (public apps only) and private apps.
  • Login interface
  • Metadata automation?
• Critical
  • Construct output link from job json? or automate on the database level
    • So we can construct data store link without re-run each analysis
    • We still need to run at least one dataset to make sure everything ok
  • To deliver public workflows, we should be able to automate it with a script that does two things
    • Convert a workflow json by replacing app-ids (private-to-public) and input paths (cshl-to-datastore)
    • Add the workflow to the dev1 database with the converted workflow json
    • dev1 needs to be modified to construct the datastore link for such unarchived situations
