Navigate the Collaboration Space

HISE is a platform that enables its users to collaborate on a project and share their findings with other colleagues. HISE users are able to easily share numerous results and tools including:

• results from an analysis
• Jupyter notebook(s) with code they developed to reach a certain result
• queries they built to find result files or samples
• reports or presentations for an important showcase or meeting
• visualizations generated from result data

The Collaboration Space allows users to collect research notes, summarize findings, generate visualizations, notebooks and files, collate external sources, and work on papers and presentations with fellow scientists using the data in your research project. 

Content

The Collaboration Space holds the documents and presentations related to a Study, such as research methods, statistics, visualizations, notebooks, or other materials that may be helpful for the Project. When in the Collaboration Space, you will be able to manage file sets, clone Jupyter notebooks that generated results, or view visualizations.

Collaborate in a Study

A study is a workspace for joint research. It is specific to a HISE project. Depending on your needs, there may be one or multiple study in the same project. 

A study can contain reports, visualizations, file sets and IDE instances. It also has a drive that can be used to upload files such as PDFs and images. This drive is specific to the study and uses Google team drives technology. You can interact with this drive using the native Google Workspace's team drive UI. 

To create a study, you need to provide information to describe the study, and associate it with the project. When you create a study, you are automatically made an owner. You can add other scientists as either co-owners or regular users.

Unlike regular users, an owner has administrative privileges to the study. This includes the ability to edit the study, which includes managing users, creating and managing reports, as well as managing visualizations, file sets and saved IDE instances.

Regular users can still do many things. They can save visualizations, file sets, and IDE instances to the study, and have access to the study drive. They also have access to reports as "writer", "commenter" or "reader". For more information on those access levels, see the Reports section.

When a study is first created, a default hero image will be used. As an owner you can change this afterwards to a hero image of your liking by editing the study. If you use an image from the study drive or if you use an image from a saved visualization, all study users will be able to see it. The same applies if you use an image that anyone has access to on the internet. In all other cases not everyone in the study might be able to see the image you picked.

Create a Study

When ready to utilize the Collaboration Space and collate all your materials to a Study, you first need to create a Study. Navigate to the Collaboration Space page and click "Create new study" in the top right corner. A form will pop up, and you will need to specify the Project that the Study should be attached to, as well as selecting other users who you will be working with on the Study.

Once a Study is created and selected, you will have the ability to create Reports, view visualizations, get a list of file Ids for file sets, or clone IDEs and mark any as final or draft.
