Accessing Groups on Tapestri Pipeline App

Once a group has been created, the group will be visible to all users who accept an invitation to join the group.

To view the group on the Tapestri Pipeline app, launch Pipeline. You will be redirected to the Groups page.

Select the group of interest to proceed. On the Tapestri Pipeline app, you can view and access all the runs created by the members within the group. You will also have access to the input and output data belonging to the members of that group.

Note 1: If you use the same browser for subsequent logins and the browser has cache enabled, you will be directed to the Tapestri Pipeline app associated with the group previously selected. If you want to access runs that are part of a different group you are a member of, please click the Tapestri Pipeline icon in the header or click the Home link on the profile drop-down menu.

Note 2: If you are not part of any group, the Launch button for Tapestri Pipeline will be disabled.
