How to get started with WorkflowHub

WorkflowHub will help make your workflows findable and citable, and this guide will help you get started with that process.

Tip: if you want to test WorkflowHub and its features, there is a development instance available here.

1. Register yourself on WorkflowHub

Register yourself on the sign up page of WorkflowHub if you do not have an account. You can also log in using your LS Login or GitHub credentials.

Figure 1 below highlights the basic structure of WorkflowHub, and examples of the three types of spaces where you could create a team.

You can request to create a team in any or all of the following spaces:

Independent teams: this is where you can create a team if you do not require a specific space
A pre-existing space, for example:
A new space: if a pre-existing space is not suitable, you can create a space
- This is a good option if you represent a group, consortium, or community where multiple teams might want to register with WorkflowHub

Learn more about teams and spaces on our dedicated What is a team page.

Note: you can create multiple teams in multiple spaces, depending on your requirements.

Go to the create and join a team page from WorkflowHub to do so.

More information on how to join a team can be found on the how to create and join teams and spaces

Important: if you are creating a team, make sure the team name is descriptive.

Figure 2 shows the minimum information required for a new team, which includes:

Space - the space you selected or created in step 2 above
Team name
Team organization - the organization that should be linked to your team on WorkflowHub. e.g. University of Melbourne
- If your organization is not yet on WorkflowHub, you can create an organization

Important: you can add multiple organizations to both your profile and teams on WorkflowHub.

Workflows can be registered using the WorkflowHub wizard

There is an extensive guide to the workflow registration process available in the WorkflowHub documentation.
