Job Enhancements

Changes to how job files are selected and how we report per-run compute cost.

The file picker​

Every Choose file / Choose Project Path / Choose Script Path button on the Create Job form opens the same picker dialog, headed Select <thing>.

A hint bar at the top states the interaction model:

Single-click to select · Double-click a folder to open it

Toolbar​

ControlBehaviour
Search boxSearch by folder/file name, with a ✕ to clear it.
+ Custom pathSwaps the toolbar for a free-text path entry. See below.
UploadOpens a menu with two entries, Folder and File, each starting an upload into the workspace files.
FolderCreates a new folder at the current location.

We show the Upload and Folder controls when the picker is opened from the job or notebook creation form.

Custom path​

Rather than navigating the tree, you can type a path directly.

  1. Click + Custom path.
  2. Type the path into the Add custom path field.
  3. Press Enter or click the ⏎ icon to add it, or Cancel to go back to the tree.
  4. Click Save to apply the selection to the job.

If the path you type is already in the selection, the field turns red and shows The custom path you have entered already exists.

note

The custom path field takes a literal path. There is no variable or date-substitution syntax.

Copying a path from the Files page​

The workspace Files page carries its own toolbar: ⬆ Upload (with Folder / File options) and ⊕ New. Each file's row menu includes Copy Path, alongside Move and Copy. Use Copy Path to put a path on the clipboard, then paste it into the picker's Add custom path field.

Approx YCU per run​

The workspace Runs table has an Approx YCU column giving the approximate Yeedu Compute Units a run consumed. The column header carries an ⓘ info button explaining the figure. It is an approximation of resource consumption, not a billed amount. See Usage and Cost Management for how we define YCU.
