EcflowUI is still work-in-progress, but is being made available for selected users to test. There are many small issues (and some larger ones) which still need to be worked on before it can become a full replacement for Ecflowview. |
| Info |
|---|
This page assumes you have a version of EcflowUI that you can run; either one that you have built yourself, or one that has been installed system-wide. |
Starting EcflowUI
The command to start the application from ECMWF workstations is:

Starting EcflowUI for the first time

Go to the Servers menu; this should contain all the servers that you have configured for Ecflowview (these are copied over once, when you first start EcflowUI; from then on, the two lists are not synchronised).
Selecting a server will add it to the tree view. For large servers, a Loading indicator may appear, but the user interface is still responsive.
...
Once loaded, a server appears in the tree view. Server and suite nodes show, in brackets, the total number of children under them. Any number of servers can be added to the view.
Viewing the tree
...
At the top of the tree is a set of breadcrumbs, showing the hierarchy up to the currently-selected node. Clicking on a node in the breadcrumbs will select the node in the tree.
To see information about the currently-selected node (such as output, script, variables, etc), click on the Add info panel button in the toolbar at the top of the window.
When a node is selected, the toolbar at the top of the tree view displays icons to display various information for the selected node, such as Output and Script. Clicking one of these pops up a floating Info Panel displaying the selected information in a tab.
The panel can be detached or frozen by using the configuration menu at the top-right of the panel:
It is also possible to have a permanently docked Info Panel: from the main window, select the Add Info Panel button from the main toolbar.
The information panel appears at the bottom of the window.
