Workbench 2 migration

Beginning in version 2.7, Arvados now defaults to a new web application, referred to as “Workbench 2”. This is a major step in the migration from the classic web application, referred to as “Workbench 1”. Workbench 1 should be considered deprecated and suppport for the Workbench 1 application will be dropped in a future Arvados release.

Workbench 2 is the new Workbench web application that replaces Workbench 1. Workbench 2 is being built based on user feedback, and has feature parity with Workbench 1. Workbench 2 has a modern look and feel and offers many advanced features and performance enhancements over the previous Workbench application.

Some major improvements of Workbench 2 include:

General

  • More responsive, only loads data needed for display
  • More familiar user interface, modeled on the file explorer of MacOS and Windows.
  • Advanced search capabilities

Project browsing

  • Expanded informational columns
  • Expanded filtering options
  • Right side informational panel providing details about selected item without navigating away from the project
  • Support for adding and querying user-supplied metadata properties on Projects

Collection browsing

  • Able to browse collections with millions of files
  • Support for adding and querying user-supplied metadata properties on Collections
  • Support for viewing past versions of a collection

User and Group management

  • Able to create user groups through the GUI
  • Able to add/view/remove members of user groups, and what permissions are shared with the group
  • Able to add/view/remove permissions shared with individual users
