DataCROP Maize Workflow Management Editor User Guide

Overview

The editor sidebar currently includes six pages:

  • Warehouse: Create and manage reusable data models (workflows list, digital resources, workers, data kinds, and admin-only catalogs).
  • Workflow Lab: Configure workflow DAG metadata, design flow graphs, assign processors/workers/resources, and run/stop workflows.
  • Airflow DAGs: Opens the Airflow UI in an iframe.
  • Kibana Visualizations: Opens Kibana dashboards in an iframe.
  • Celery Workers Status: Opens Celery workers status in an iframe.
  • Settings: Theme/preferences, registry credentials, admin initialization, and read-only user profile.

This guide focuses on the pages where most daily work happens: Warehouse, Workflow Lab, and Settings.
