Executing a Function on a Model File

If you have access to a model file, you can execute functions on it to extract data, transform content, generate metadata, or create derived artifacts. The function execution interface is available directly from the Artifacts tab of a model file.

Executing a Function from the Files Page​

  1. Navigate to the Files page.
    Click the Files option in the left-hand sidebar.

  2. Open the model file.
    In the All Models tab, find and click the model file you want to use.

  3. Go to the Artifacts tab.
    The Artifacts tab includes the function execution dialog, where you can select and run a function.

  4. Fill out the function execution form.
    The function interface includes the following fields:

    • Tool Name – Displays the tool that will run the function.
    • Version – Shows the version of the selected tool.
    • Operating System – Specifies the environment where the function will execute (e.g., Windows Server 2022).
    • Function – Use the dropdown to select the applicable function to execute.
    • Agent (optional) – Either select an agent manually or choose Select Agent for Me to let the system choose automatically.

  5. Provide any required input parameters.
    Depending on the selected function, additional fields may appear to collect configuration or filter inputs.

  6. Run the function.
    Once the form is complete, initiate execution using the built-in UI control. The system will begin processing the function asynchronously.

  7. Monitor the progress of the job.
    The Job Log tab includes a list of all the jobs that have been submitted for this model. The job you just created will be at the top of the list. The Status column will update live with the status of the job, which will start in Pending and progress towards Completed. (See here for an explanation of each of the full set of job statuses.)

  8. View the results.
    When execution completes, any generated artifacts will appear in the Artifacts tab. You can click to view, download, or share them.

Notes​

  • You do not need to click a separate “Run” or “Execute Function” button to access the interface—it is already part of the Artifacts tab.
  • Function availability and required inputs are based on the selected model file.
  • Only users with Editor or Administrator access can execute functions.
  • You may safely leave the page after starting execution; results will appear when ready.
  • You can cancel a Pending job by selecting the Cancel Job option from the three dots (...) menu in the right-most column of the table in the Job Log tab.
