Jobs

Track analyses and return to their inputs and results.

A job records one run of a hosted tool: its input, settings, status, outputs, and credit usage. Jobs belong to a workspace and keep running after you leave the page, so you can submit an analysis and come back to it later. Browser calculators produce results without creating a job.

Job statuses

Every job moves from waiting to running to a final state. The status shown in Results, History, and the output panel tells you where it is.

StatusMeaning
PendingCreated and waiting to start.
QueuedWaiting for execution capacity.
ProcessingThe tool is running.
RetryingProteinIQ is retrying after a transient failure.
FinishedCompleted, with results ready. Some views label this Completed.
Stopped at limitStopped at a spending limit, when workspace credits ran out, or at its runtime cap. Some output may be available, or none.
FailedEnded with an error.
Timed outExceeded its execution time limit.
CanceledStopped before completion.

Open Details in the output panel for timing, credit usage, and any reported error. A finished status means the software completed; whether the result answers your research question is still your call. When a job fails, times out, or waits longer than expected, Troubleshooting analyses explains what to check before running it again.

Find a job

Open Results to see every job in your active workspace. Search by job name, or filter by status or project, then select a job to reopen its input, settings, and results.

Each tool page also has a History view listing only that tool's jobs, which is handy for comparing repeated runs. If a job is missing, check that you are in the right workspace and clear any filters.

Owners, admins, and members can submit jobs. Viewers can open them but cannot run new analyses. Assigning a job to a project organizes it without changing who can see it.

Results and downloads

The output panel shows what the tool produced: tables, structures, plots, files, and logs, depending on the analysis. Use the download control on an output to save it, or Download all when the panel offers it.

Downloading a file does not add it to your workspace library. To keep outputs for reuse, choose Select files in the result file list, select them, and use Save to Files or Add to collection. Files and collections covers what happens next, including sending saved outputs to another tool.

Job actions

The actions menu beside a job in Results or History offers:

  • View details: Inspect the run in its details dialog.
  • Open in new tab: Open the job in a separate browser tab.
  • Open in AI Assistant: Start an AI Assistant conversation with the job as context.
  • Rename: Change the name shown in history.
  • Copy link: Copy the job URL. This does not change who can open it.
  • Move to project: Assign the job to a project or remove its assignment.
  • Delete: Remove the job and its data.

Which actions appear depends on your role and the current view.

Sharing a job

Jobs are Private by default, which means everyone in the workspace can see them. To show a result to someone outside the workspace, the submitter opens Share in the output panel of a completed, failed, or partial-result job and picks an audience. Readers can inspect results and download result files, but submitted inputs and error files stay restricted to the submitter.

Sharing and permissions describes each audience and how to add or revoke invitations.

Credit usage

A job's billing model decides when it uses credits. Fixed-price jobs need their full cost before they start. Time-based jobs take an initial authorization, renew it while running, and settle on billable runtime. Whether credits come back depends on how the job ends.

Jobs started by a workflow also follow that workflow's spending controls.

Delete a job

Choose Delete from the job's actions menu and confirm. Owners and admins can delete any job in the workspace; members can delete their own. A job that has already started may need to finish first.

Jobs that belong to a workflow run cannot be deleted one at a time. Manage them from the workflow instead.

Warning

Download important results before deleting a job. Deletion removes its input and output files, including any library entries saved from those outputs.
