Narrative Navigator

Welcome to Narratives! You may notice there are a few changes when you sign in to narrative.kbase.us. Let's get you up to speed with a tour.

  • There are five tabs for exploring and locating existing Narratives: My Narratives, Shared with Me, Tutorials, and Public.

  • The most recently updated Narratives appear first, but can be searched or sorted using the dropdown menu - Recently updated, Least recently updated, Recently created, Oldest, Lexographic (A-Z), Reverse Lexicographic (Z-A).

  • A list of available Narratives will be on the left panel and information on the selected Narrative on the right panel. Here you can see an overview of the Data within the Narrative and a Preview.

    • Icons under a Narrative name indicate which apps the Narrative includes, how many markdown and code cells it contains, the number of times the Narrative has been shared, whether there are any running jobs, total running time for all completed jobs, and more.

  • Click on the selected Narrative name to open it.

  • Click on the Gear icon next to the Narrative title for management options to:

    • Manage Sharing

    • Copy this Narrative

    • Rename

    • Link to Organization

    • Delete

  • You can use the Search Box at the top of each panel to find a particular Narrative within that category.

  • Click the + New Narrative button at the top to create a new Narrative.

  • Note that Public Narratives have not necessarily been reviewed or tested by the KBase team; they are simply Narratives that have been made public by their owners.

Where can I go from here?

The Narrative Navigator offers many launch points. To the left of the main panel you will see seven icons allowing you to toggle between Navigator, Orgs, Catalog, Search, Jobs, Account, and Feed tabs.
