Code choice (FHI aims or Exciting) user awareness and workflows
The possibility of changing the code along a workflow is problematic, explanation:
The point is that the
step2/ControlGenerator
and thestep3/DownloadInputFiles
are highly coupled, the step3 is dependent on the step2: So, if the user is on the step3 and he changes the code, the user should generate a new set of params to request the server the input files for the other code (theControlGenerator
is different for both codes).
In addition, we don't know the user awareness of the code selected (this can be application level issue):
We have to make the user pay attention to the code choice. Can we have a step 0, where the user has to explicitly set the code?
