Dataset Submission

Submission Types

There are three types of submission: basic, advanced, and expert.

Basic View

The basic view is designed for the case of “I want to run this script.”

It requires a URL (http or gridftp) to the script. All other boxes are optional, though filling in the description is highly recommended.

Then enter the number of jobs and hit submit.

Advanced View

The advanced view is for running multiple tasks and more complex scenarios. It is currently a direct translation from the json config to html structure.

This is under revision to make it easier to use. Comments welcome.

Expert View

The expert view shows the raw json configuration. Copying/pasting the configuration is very easy here.

Warning

Be careful of json syntax errors!
