Configuring elements
Configuration elements defined in a configuration file are grouped by type; each element type has a specific section in the Taipy Configs panel.
Data Nodes configuration¶
The Data Nodes section list all the Data Node configuration defined in the selected configuration file.
Creating a new Data Node configuration¶
Press the '+' sign that appears when you hover the title of the Data Nodes section of
the Taipy Configs panel.
Taipy Studio will prompt you for an identifier for this new Data Node configuration
element.
Note that you cannot set the identifier of a new Data Node element to one
already used by another.
Default values are provided for the essential properties of the new Data Node configuration
element: storage_type is set to "pickle", and scope is set to "SCENARIO:SCOPE".
The properties for the new element are displayed in the DETAILS section of the
Taipy Configs panel.
Renaming a Data Node configuration¶
Right-click a Data Node identifier in the Data Nodes section and select the "Rename"
option.
Note that you cannot set the new identifier of a Data Node element to one that is already used by
another Data Node element.
The new name of a Data Node element is propagated to the Task configurations that reference it.
Deleting a Data Node configuration¶
Right-click a Data Node identifier in the Data Node section and select the
"Delete from configuration" option.
Taipy Studio will prompt you to confirm you really want to remove that
element from the configuration file.
Locate in the Graph View¶
If a Graph View is active and showing a Scenario configuration, you add a specific Data Node configuration element to that view by selecting the "Add/Show in active View" menu option that pops when you right-click the relevant element identifier.
If that Data Node configuration element is already present in the Graph View, the view is panned so you can spot it easily.
Properties¶
The Details section will let you:
- Change the Data Node configuration identifier.
- Specify the storage type property.
- Specify the scope property.
- Add Data Node-specific properties and values that Taipy can use.
Tasks configuration¶
The Tasks section lists all the Task configuration elements defined in the selected configuration file.
Creating a new Task configuration¶
Press the '+' sign that appears when you hover the title of the Tasks section of the
Taipy Configs panel.
Taipy Studio will prompt you for an identifier for this new Task configuration
element.
Note that you cannot set the identifier of a new Task element to one
already used by another.
Default values are provided for the essential properties of the new Task configuration
element: inputs and outputs are set to an empty list, and skippable is set to
"False:bool".
The properties for the new element are displayed in the DETAILS section of the
"Taipy Configs" panel.
Renaming a Task configuration¶
Right-click a Task identifier in the Tasks section and select the "Rename" option.
Note that you cannot set the new identifier of a Task element to one that is already used by
another Task element.
The new name of a Task element is propagated to the Scenario configurations that reference it.
Deleting a Task configuration¶
Right-click a Task element identifier in the Tasks section and select the
"Delete from configuration" option.
Taipy Studio will prompt you to confirm you really want to remove that
element from the configuration file.
Locate in the Graph View¶
If a Graph View is active and showing a Scenario configuration,
you add a specific Task configuration element to that view by selecting
the "Add/Show in active View" menu option that pops when you right-click the
relevant element identifier.
Note that adding the Task configuration element to the Graph View also
adds the dependent Data Node configuration elements it depends on.
If that Task configuration element is already present in the Graph View, then the view is panned so you can spot the Task element easily.
Properties¶
The Details section will let you:
- Change the Task configuration identifier.
- Change the input and output Data Nodes used by this Task configuration.
You can pick the Data Node configurations from the list of configured Data Nodes in the selected configuration file. - Specify the function used by this Task configuration.
You will select the module to locate the function, then the name of the function itself.
If you right-click the function name in the Details section, you can select the "Show Source" menu option. This opens an editor showing the source code at the location where the function is defined. - Specify whether this Task configuration is skippable or not.
Scenarios configuration¶
The Scenarios section lists all the Scenario configuration elements defined in the selected configuration file.
If a Scenario configuration element contains one or more sequences, its node can be expanded to reveal the Sequence elements the Scenario configuration defines.
Creating a new Scenario configuration¶
Press the '+' sign that appears when you hover the title of the Scenarios section of
the Taipy Configs panel.
Taipy Studio will prompt you for an identifier for this new Scenario configuration
element.
Note that you cannot set the identifier of a new Scenario element to one
already used by another.
Default values are provided for the essential properties of the new Scenario configuration
element: sequences is set to an empty list.
The properties for the new element are displayed in the DETAILS section of the
"Taipy Configs" panel.
Renaming a Scenario configuration¶
Right-click a Scenario identifier in the Scenarios section and select the
"Rename node" option.
Note that you cannot set the new identifier of a Scenario element to one
already used by another.
Deleting a Scenario configuration¶
Right-click a Scenario identifier in the Scenarios section and select the
"Delete from configuration" option.
Taipy Studio will prompt you to confirm you really want to remove that
element from the configuration file.
Showing in a Graph View¶
Right-click a Scenario identifier in the Scenarios section and select the
"Show View" option.
Taipy Studio will create a Graph View representing the selected Scenario
configuration element.
The Graph View will represent all the configuration elements referenced by this Scenario configuration (all the dependent Task and Data Node configuration elements).
Adding a sequence¶
Press the '+' sign that appears next to a Scenario configuration name in the Scenarios
section of the Taipy Configs panel.
Taipy Studio will prompt you for an identifier for a new sequence in this Scenario configuration
element.
Note that you cannot set the identifier of a sequence to one already used in this Scenario
configuration element.
Renaming a sequence¶
Right-click a Sequence identifier in the list of child nodes of a Scenario element in the
Scenarios section and select the "Rename" option.
Note that you cannot set the new identifier of a sequence to one that is already used by the
selected Scenario configuration element.
Deleting a sequence¶
Right-click a Sequence identifier in the list of child nodes of a Scenario element in the
Scenarios section and select the "Delete from configuration" option.
Taipy Studio will prompt you to confirm you really want to remove that
element from the configuration file.
Properties¶
If a Scenario configuration element is selected in the Scenarios section, the Details section displays the details of that Scenario element and lets you:
- Change the identifier of the Scenario configuration element.
- Change the Tasks used by this Scenario configuration.
Selecting the value of the tasks field will prompt you to select the Tasks configuration elements you want to reference from the Scenario configuration element.
If a sequence of a Scenario configuration element is selected in the Scenarios section, the Details section displays the details of that sequence and lets you:
- Change the sequence identifier.
- Change the Tasks used by this sequence.
