Running a workflow


  1. Click on galaxy-workflows-activity Workflows on the Activity Bar on the left.
  2. At the top of the resulting page you will have the option to switch between the My workflows, Workflows shared with me and Public workflows tabs.
  3. Select the tab you want to see all workflows in that category
  4. Search for your desired workflow.

    Select workflow

  5. Click on the workflow name: a pop-up window opens with a preview of the workflow.
  6. To run it directly: click workflow-run Run (top-right). This will take you to the workflow run form.
  7. Configure the workflow
    • Send results to a new history: if enabled, will send the results to a new history instead of your current active history. You can provide a name for the new history here as well.
    • Re-use jobs with identical parameters. This will check if any identical jobs have already been run before, and save compute time and energy by re-using the previous results. Great to use if you previously ran (part of) this workflow on the same data already.
  8. Set the workflow parameters (e.g. input data)

  9. Recommended: click Import (left of Run) to make your own local copy under Workflows / My Workflows.

  10. Click on workflow-run Run Workflow in the upper right corner to start the workflow.
  11. You will now see the workflow invocation page showing the progress of your workflow. This page can always be accessed via galaxy-panelview Workflow invocations on the Activity bar (left-hand menu).
    • If you sent the results to a new history, you can view this history by clicking on the galaxy-histories-activity history link in the top left corner of the workflow invocation page.
