Experiments

An experiment is a simple container to which you can add your workflows, simulations and more. It provides an easy way to access them later.

The Experiments list

When you log in to Synthace, the Experiments list opens.

The Experiments list displays the experiments that you or your colleagues have created. It displays the most recent experiment at the top of the list. By default, it only displays the experiments that you have created. Use the filter to change this if you wish.

Each experiment has a card that displays its name, author, and last modification date, along with a context menu you can use to delete the experiment.

Click New to create an experiment, or click the card for an experiment to open the report view.

Views

Synthace offers two views of an experiment: the report view and the map view.

  • The report view displays entities (like workflows, simulations, executions and data) in a list to which you can add explanatory text and section headings for easier navigation. To learn more, click here.

  • Synthace generates the map view from the entities that you have added to the experiment. It automatically finds and includes anything that you have used those entities to create. This adds several useful features on top of the report view, and gives you an alternative way to organise and continue your experiment. To learn more, click here.

Add an entity to an experiment

Use the black bar at the top of a page to add a workflow, simulation or execution to an experiment.

  1. If the entity you are working on doesn’t appear in any experiment, Synthace displays the following button.

  2. Click it, then choose the experiment to which you want to add the entity, or create a new experiment to add it to.

    The menu displays your five most recently opened experiments. Click SEE ALL EXPERIMENTS to open the Experiment list and choose the experiment you want.

    Click CREATE A NEW EXPERIMENT to give the new experiment a name. After you click CREATE, Synthace creates the new experiment and adds the entity to it.

See which experiments contain an entity

Once a workflow, simulation or execution exists inside one or more experiments, Synthace displays a different icon.

Note: An entity exists inside an experiment if it would appear in the map view for that experiment. In other words, this includes things that you did not add directly to an experiment (and so do not appear in the report view).

The icon displays the number of experiments in which the entity appears. Click the icon to show the experiments and navigate directly to the map view.
