Augmenting the User Experience in Open OnDemand

Published: 10 September 2023 Publication History

Abstract

The user experience has always been a hallmark of the Open OnDemand open-source software. User experience research has identified a number of features that would augment it further. Quick-launch buttons allow applications to start with a single click. Custom profiles offer the researcher a choice among dashboards with unique branding and sets of applications. Other single buttons enable restarting a previous job and direct submission of a support request ticket. These features have been integrated and released in Open OnDemand 3.0.
