Managing Run Time Files

The Run Time Files page shows the files that have been uploaded to the shared space for your workgroup.  These are files that can be used when you run code objects.  This page shows the files that have been uploaded, the folders they are stored in, and whether the files are unpublished or published to others you collaborate with.

Viewing Run Time Files

To view project run time files for your workgroup, select Code from the menu on the left, then select the Run Time Files link.

Folders and run-time files are listed.

Adding Run Time Files

There are two ways to add run time files.  

• To add run time files, complete the steps in the How to Use External Files at Run Time article.
• As you train your NVFlare models, the checkpoint and model parameter files are added to the Run Time Files page automatically.

Checkpoint files, which are complete snapshots of a federated learning training run are listed.  Each file contains model parameters, internal optimizer states, and training metadata such as the current training round.  You will also see a models parameter file.  You can publish, unpublish, or delete these files, as you would any other file.

If you want to add a description or note, move the pointer over the file.  A box appears; select the pencil to enter the description, then click Save.
