Dashboards

ScientistCloud opens a visualization dashboard when you select a dataset. The same dashboards are available on the public portal and the account portal.

Open a Dashboard

  • Select a dataset in the left sidebar
  • The center pane loads the preferred dashboard for that dataset
  • Use the Dashboard dropdown in the toolbar to switch viewers
If a dashboard is still loading, wait for the spinner. A mismatch (for example VTK on a 2D slide) can show an empty pane; switch back to a viewer that matches the data.

Available Dashboards

The toolbar lists the dashboards deployed on the server. Typical options:

DashboardBest for
OpenVisus Slice2D/3D IDX volumes, TIFF stacks, HDF5, NetCDF, RGB slides. Pan, zoom, slice, colormap, probe
3D PlotlyInteractive 3D volumes with transfer-function and quality/time controls
3D VTKVolume rendering and orthogonal slices, with a resolution slider
4D DashboardTime-varying / 4D scans
MagicScanWhole-slide / MAGICSCAN pathology
Dark MatterNexus detector events, channel traces, and event metadata
ORNL CHESS StrainStrain-mapping workflows: samples, predicted field, uncertainty, Play through snapshots

The portal picks a default from the dataset sensor and preferred dashboard setting. You can change the preferred dashboard when you edit the dataset or when you connect data from Inspect S3.

Explore in OpenVisus Slice

  • Pan and zoom; resolution refines as you zoom
  • Change Palette / colormap and min/max range
  • Use the direction / offset slider to walk through a volume
  • Probe reads a sample at the cursor
You do not download the full file. The viewer streams the resolution it needs.

Share a View

On the account portal, dataset details include Copy Dashboard Link. That copies a URL for the current (or preferred) dashboard so a collaborator can open the same view.

Sharing the dataset with a user or team also lets them open dashboards from the portal. See Sharing and Teams.

Public vs Account

Public-portal visitors can use dashboards on public datasets. They cannot upload, change preferred dashboard, or share. Sign in to the account portal for those actions.
