This guide is intended for Stage 1 Reviewers (DAs and AODs ) and Stage 2 Reviewers (previously "AoD") using the workspaces capabilities for VLA calibration and imaging.

...

1. Go to https://ws.nrao.edu/workspaces/active-requests (do NOT log in, this is not required and will break your session) and enter the EB to be processed in the "SDM ID" box at the top, hit the "Calibrate" button. Make sure the Auto-calibration button at the top right is set to run (this has nothing yet to do with the automatic start of jobs, which is controlled by the CAPO profile*).
2. The job should appear in the job list with a status of "executing". Select the job by clicking the request on the left-hand column, this should open a request page.
3. You should be able to see the working directory in lustre for the request in the Version Parameters section of the request page. You can click on the text to copy it.
4. At any point prior to QA you should set the SRDP status to T/F with the checkbox and assign a DA Stage 1 Reviewer (yourself) and an AOD a Stage 2 Reviewer to the job. 
5. When complete, the status will change to "Awaiting QA". Click the link to the request page in the "Request" column, or the link in the email to WorkapsacesWorkspaces-Analysts, which will take you to the request page.
6. Follow the link to the weblog and perform QA (if you need to you can go to the working directory on spool using the directory name from step 43).
7. On the bottom right is a button to edit the DA notes, Internal Notes; these notes persist between versions and are not seen by the user.
8. If you need to add flags, click "Create new version" on the bottom right of the page. A flagtemplate is pre-loaded, so you just need to edit it.
9. If you need to edit the PPR, this is also accessible to edit at this stage.
10. Select the latest version on the drop-down menu under "Versions", then click "Submit new version". The old version remains and you can toggle between them using the dropdown drop-down menu. 
11. When you are satisfied, edit the QA notes and hit "Send to AOD". to Stage 2". Make sure the Cal Status in Drew's spreadsheet has been set to "QA Ready".
12. Stage 2 Reviewer role: AOD role: check the calibration, the QA notes and that the SRDP status is set correctly. If not satisfied, you can Return to Stage 1 after adding comments in the Internal Notes. If satisfied, hit QAPass. QAPass the QA Pass button. QA Pass will pass the current selected version and fail all the others, sending email to workspaces-analysts and the PI (cc'd to workspaces-analysts). If not satisified, you can return to the DA after adding comments in the DA notes. The execution state should change to "Ingesting", then "Complete". An email will be sent to Workspaces-Analysts to say that the calibration data were ingested, and to the user (cc'd to Workspaces-Analysts) with the QA notes and instructions for retrieval. In addition, Drew's spreadsheet should be updated to set "archived/passedthe Cal Status to "Archived"; if SRDP set the QA2 SRDP column entry to "Pass".
13. AOD Stage 2 Reviewer role: if the data are SRDP wait for the calibration ingest to complete, then hit the "Create Image request" button. Go back to the active-requests page, select std_cms_imaging from the top-left menu and check that the job has started with the SRDP box checked and the same DA and AOD as for the calibration. Fill in the image request ID in the Google spreadsheet. The DA and AOD Once the imaging request has been created (its imaging request will open in a new browser tab), enter the workspaces ID number in the "Imaging WS ID" column. In Workspaces, the Stage 1 and Stage 2 reviewers will be set to the same people as the calibration request, and status to SRDP, but you may want to check that.
14. AOD Stage 2 Reviewer role: Submit the image request   (bottom right button on the image request page).
15. Once the imaging is complete, the state will change to "Awaiting QA". The DA Stage 1 reviewer should watch the image queue for their datasets to check for new job completions.
16. Weblog review can be carried out in the same way as for calibration. Note the "Launch CARTA session" capability that can be used to inspect the image data. Flagging can be added by uploading a <FSID>.flagtargetstemplate.txt.
17. Once satisfied, edit the QA notes and hit "Send to AODStage 2".
18. AOD Stage 2 Reviewer role:  If satisfied, check the QA notes and click "QA Pass" and an email will be sent to Workspaces-Analysts to say that the data were ingested, and to the user with the QA notes and instructions for retrieval.
