Run View

The run view shows a single pipeline run: the execution graph, the status of every task, and the artifacts and logs each task produced. Like the editor, it is organised as a menu bar plus a set of dockable windows around a central canvas.

info

This page describes the current run view, which is the default for all users. A legacy run view is still available via the version toggle — see Switching to the legacy run view. The legacy layout is documented in the Studio UI Guide.

The menu bar spans the top of the run view with the TangleML logo, the pipeline's name, and the menus below it.

Run

ItemAvailability
Inspect PipelineWhen the run's pipeline is available in your browser storage
View YAMLAlways
Clone PipelineAlways — creates a new pipeline from this run's definition
Export YAMLAlways
Cancel RunWhile the run is in progress, and only for the user who created it
Rerun PipelineOnce the run has finished

Cancel Run asks for confirmation first: the run is scheduled for cancellation, and that cannot be undone.

View

Auto-layout re-arranges the execution graph using the same algorithms as the editor — Sugiyama, Sugiyama Centered, Compact, and Spread.

Windows

As in the editor, the Windows menu toggles individual windows and offers a Views submenu. The run view has two presets: Default, which puts Run Tools on the left and Run Details on the right, and Minimal, which hides every panel and leaves only the graph.

Windows

WindowContents
Run ToolsThe run's actions as a set of buttons — see Run tools
Run DetailsRun-level metadata, notes, arguments, and outputs — see Run details
PropertiesDetails for the selected task — see Task inspection

Windows behave the same way as in the editor — drag to dock or float, and use the header buttons to minimize, maximize, or hide. See Windows.

Run tools

The Run Tools window collects the actions available for the run:

  • View YAML — the pipeline definition this run executed.
  • Share run — copy a direct link to the run.
  • Inspect pipeline — open the run's pipeline in the editor. Shown only when that pipeline is available in your browser storage.
  • Clone pipeline — create a new pipeline from this run.
  • Cancel run — stop a run that is still in progress. Shown only to the user who created the run.
  • Rerun pipeline — submit the same pipeline again. Shown once the run has finished.

When the window is floating it lays the tools out in a row; docked, it stacks them vertically.

Run details

The Run Details window opens on the pipeline's name, followed by a status bar summarising how many of the run's tasks have succeeded, failed, or are still running. Beside the status sit a View YAML button and an overflow menu carrying the same actions as the Run menu — Inspect Pipeline, Clone Pipeline, Export YAML, and, depending on the run's state, Cancel Run or Rerun Pipeline.

The rest of the window is organised into collapsible sections:

  • Run Info — run id, execution id, who created the run, and when. Where the platform knows how the run was started, a line explains its origin.
  • Details — the pipeline's description, its tags, and any annotations that are not platform bookkeeping.
  • Notes — the pipeline's own notes, plus a Run Notes field for this run specifically. Run notes are editable by whoever created the run and read-only for everyone else, so you can record what a run was for without touching the pipeline.
  • Arguments — the values this run was submitted with.
  • Outputs — what the run produced.

Task inspection

Click a task in the graph to fill the Properties window with that task's execution detail. The panel header shows the task name and a status icon, followed by three tabs:

  • Artifacts — the task's inputs and output artifacts. For the preview formats supported here, see Understanding Artifacts.
  • Details — the component behind the task, its description and interface, and its annotations. Annotations you or the pipeline author set appear under Task Annotations; the ones the execution system adds are kept in a separate, collapsed System annotations section, so a long list of platform metadata does not bury your own.
  • Logs — the task's container logs, alongside its execution events. Pop out moves the logs into their own window you can dock or resize, and a second control opens them in a new browser tab. Subgraph tasks have no logs of their own, so the tab is not shown for them.

Output nodes in the graph show a preview of their artifact directly on the node once the run has produced one, so you can read a result without opening a panel.

Selecting several nodes at once shows a small toolbar with Copy, which copies the selection so you can paste it into a pipeline in the editor. Cmd/Alt + C does the same from the keyboard.

Subgraphs

When a pipeline contains subgraphs, the run view lets you drill into a subgraph's execution to see the tasks inside it and their individual statuses. The URL tracks which subgraph execution you are viewing, so a link you copy takes a collaborator to the same place in the run.

Switching to the legacy run view

A version toggle switches between the current and legacy run views for the same run, in the same way as the editor toggle. Both views read the same run data.
