Access the SCE
The SCE is accessed from the Platform Menu under Data Mapping & Computing for users with SCE privileges.
The SCE Home tab is displayed by default; other tabs across the top provide access to the Editor, Browser, Jobs, and Settings windows.
SCE Home
Users begin their experience in the Statistical Computing Environment with a dynamic, task-driven dashboard: SCE Home. Users will see the programs they have most recently been working on, and execution jobs they have most recently submitted. With a click users can pick up from where they last left off, increasing productivity and efficiency.
My Programs
Each item in the My Programs section displays the name and version of the file you most recently worked on, the folder location, date and time.
Program names in the My Programs section are hyperlinks, and when clicked that program opens in the Editor window.
The number in the blue badge indicates the number of programs you currently have locked for editing.
Use the icons at the right to:
- Create a New File: Click to open the New File window.
- View All Programs: Click to access the Browser window.
My Jobs
Each job listed displays the name and version of the executed file, the folder location, and the status.
Click on an item in the My Jobs section and the Jobs window opens.
Badges display the number of jobs queued (scheduled to run) in orange, and the number of jobs running in green.
