Section: Dashboard | Biotope - Cumulative IMPacts of invasive ALien species (CIMPAL) version | LifeWatch ERIC Training Platform

  • In your Dashboard (Fig. 12) you can find all your workflows and their status. More detail can be found under the Actions column, by pressing the Detailed information icon (Fig. 13), which will route you to the workflow insight.

    ATTENTION:

    1. The running time is highly dependent on the resolution defined in the Grid size value, on the number of species and on the size area of the assessment. As reference, running a dataset with 64 IAS for all Mediterranean sea, at a 100 m resolution, could take as much as 18 hours to complete. If not indicated, the default Grid size value is set to 25 m.
    Workflow insight

    Here you will find four panels:

    1. General information will include several information regarding the workflow;
    2. Workflow status diagram gives you a visual depiction of the status of the workflow and individual services;
    3. Workflow output files (Fig. 13), where you can find the individual outputs for each component of the workflow, as well as their log files. This panel allows you to retrieve the results for all calculations:
      • Within the ‘CIMPALCalculator’ folder you will find ‘cimpal_output.zip’ which includes the individual raster outputs with the CIMPAL value for each species and path of introduction. The overall CIMPAL raster file will include ‘_ALL_’ in the name (e.g. cimpal_ALL_Weights_Precautionary.tif). The files should be downloaded to your local file, extracted and opened with a GIS software (e.g. QGIS)
      • Within the ‘ZonalStatisticProducer’ folder you will find individual (species and path of introduction) .csv files with the statistics of CIMPAL for each zone previously defined. The overall CIMPAL statistics file will include ‘_ALL_’ in the name (e.g. cimpal_ALL_Weights_Precautionary_stat.csv). The files can be open in any text or spreadsheet software.
      To access each file, press the three vertical dots at the end of the respective line on the expanded file list, and choose ‘Download’ as, shown in Fig. 14;
