Creating a Work-In-Progress (WIP) Tool:

This guide describes the steps required to create and run a custom Work-In-Progress (WIP) tool within EP Workbench.  

The Work-In-Progress tool allows your code to be integrated with the EP Workbench interface.

  1. Launch EP Workbench, and navigate to the right-side panel and select the Work-in-Progress tab.

  2. Create a new WIP tool.

  • Click on Create..., then press the Code button on the newly created project.

  • Complete the WIP Code Editor fields.

FieldInstructions
WIP NameProvide a descriptive name for your WIP tool.
InterpreterSelect the appropriate Conda environment interpreter, located at: conda/envs//bin/python
Root DirectorySpecify the path to your project root directory. (Optional if the WIP is a single script.)
Widget Creator CodeJSON-based structure defining widgets for user inputs.
Main CodeContains your Python main script.

4. Save your configuration.

  • After filling out all fields, click SAVE to store your WIP tool settings.

  • On the code editor window, switch to the Widget creator code tab and then press the run button. You can now close this window.

5. How to Run the WIP as a user.

  • Load the OpenEP case in EP Workbench.

  • Fill in the user-inputs in the WIP Workspace.
