Downloading Analysis Results

Overview

Within a workstation's detail view, the Data and Results tabs handle the two sides of moving files in and out of a workstation: uploading the inputs your analysis needs, and downloading the outputs it produces. Both directions are governed — uploads are scanned and approved, and downloads require explicit administrator sign-off — so that data never leaves the TRE without oversight.

Navigation: Open Workstation Overview, click on a running workstation's name, then select the Data or Results tab.

Data Tab

The Data tab displays files that have been uploaded to the workstation and are available for use in your analysis.

WS Data tab

Each file row shows its name, size, last updated date, and two action icons:

  • Download — download the file to your local machine.
  • Copy CLI — for large files, use this key to copy the file's CLI Auth token. Refer to transferring large files for a detailed guide on how to use the token to download your file.

Use Download All to retrieve all files in the current directory at once. Use the search bar to find a specific file by name.

WS Data tab

Results Tab

The Results tab lists output files generated by your analysis within the workstation. Files appear here once they have been saved to the workstation's output directory.

Requesting a File Download

Output files cannot be downloaded directly — every download must be approved by your DS Administrator before the file can be retrieved.

To request a download:

  1. Navigate to the Results tab.
  2. Click the Download icon in the row of the file you want to download.
  3. A notification confirms the request has been submitted.

The file is not downloaded immediately. Track the request status under My Requests:

Status Description

Once approved, return to the Results tab and click the Download icon again to initiate the transfer.
