Using the Discovery Environment

Welcome to the user manual for the CyVerse Discovery Environment (DE). Here you'll find all the how-to instructions for using the DE. To get you started, you may want to read through the introductory information in the Quick Links. Hints for how to use this manual are also on this page.

Navigating the app

While much of the interface is intuitive and easy to use, there are a few tips to keep in mind as you move between windows in the DE.

Main Icons

At the top right of every DE screen are the main icons:

notification_icon Lists status update notifications and information about data or analyses actions.
person_icon Links to setting preferences; viewing or editing the Collaborators list; viewing system messages, documentation, Introduction to DE, and release information; contacting CyVerse Support; and logging out of the DE.
help_icon Click to access the FAQs page or Ask CyVerse, and to submit feedback or contact Support.

Open window icons

At the top right of each data, apps, or analyses window are icons to help you learn more about the DE, and manage the window's size and display.

helpiconwindow Help: Click to open the FAQs page for the current window.
WindowIcon-cascadeTile Layout: Resizes the window layout to half of the available available desktop space and positions it either to the left (Snap Left) or right side (Snap Right) of the window.
WindowIcon-minMaxClose Minimize, Maximize, or close the active window.

Open window tabs

The tabs that are displayed at the bottom of the Data, Apps, or Analyses screen are the apps, files, and windows that are currently open. Click a tab to quickly open the window.

Clikcing the Data desktop icon when multiple Data windows are open and minimized to a bottom tab opens the most recent window, cycling through each consecutive open Data window in the reverse order in which they were opened.
