Overview of the Package Studio

Updated 1 week ago by Stephanie Krenz

The Package Studio allows dab Nexus users to create their own extraction packages and then use them in extraction tasks and associated Analytic Groups. The Package Studio is therefore a central location where these packages can be created, configured and managed. It can be accessed via the Package Studio button at the top of the screen.

You will see a list of existing packages. For each package you will see the name, description (if available), any existing tags, etc. What other information you will see in the overview is described below, depending on your dab Nexus version.


View from version 1.16

Note
Version 1.16 changes the way the package overview is displayed.

With the introduction of version 1.16, the Package Studio view has been significantly changed and enhanced.

At the top left you can Search for existing packages using the search box.

At the top right you can create a new package by clicking on + Package.


Below this is the Filter function. Here you have the following options:

  • Reset Filters: remove al set filters
  • Usage
    • Not in use: shows all packages that are not yet used in tasks
    • Used in Tasks: shows all packages that are used in tasks
    • Linked to Analytic Groups: shows all packages associated with an Analytic Group
  • Origin
    • Analytic Group: shows all packages that were created by an Analytic Group
    • User: shows all packages that were created by a user
  • Tags
    • Tag 1
    • Tag 2
    • ...

    You can set the columns in the table to the right of the filter function. You can use the dots to drag and drop the order of the columns. You can use the purple checkboxes to show and hide columns (except for the package name, which is always shown).

On the left hand side you have the option to filter the packages:

  • Not in use: not yet used in any task
  • Used in Tasks: used in at least one task
  • Linked with Analytic Group: the package was linked to an Analytic Group
  • Created from Analytic Group: the package was created based on an Analytic Group configuration.

You can also filter by tags. These tags can be specified in the package and can be freely defined and selected. The assignment of one or more tags to a package is optional.
