Research diagram
Research diagram allows to represent current research steps(actions) and all input and output data on one diagram. Research diagram can be created by New project action in data/<research_name>/Diagrams context menu.
There are two basic ways to build research diagram:
| • | Add action from History tab. In this way all input elements for action will be added automatically or linked with exists diagram elements. |
| • | Use top toolbar for creating new elements. In this way building process is the same as typical diagram building in BioUML. |
Figure 13.3. Example of research diagram.
Workflow diagram
While the research diagram represents completed research worcflow allows to create scheme for future research and execute it. Workflow diagram can be created by New workflow action in data/<research_name>/Diagrams context menu.
The ways to create workflow are the same as the ways to create research. Special Workflow tab also allows to set each workflow element properties (such as analysis) and has actions to start or break workflow execution. The status of workflow execution is visible on diagram by elements colors.
