🚧

IMPORTANT

Embedded Data Apps are available through an early adopter program (EAP) currently and activated for customers through coordination with TetraScience. The apps may require changes in future releases. For more information, or to activate the Tetra Data & AI Workspace and Embedded Data Apps in your TDP environment, contact your customer success manager (CSM) or account executive.

Embedded Tetra Data Apps run in the cloud and are configured for software as a service (SaaS) application streaming back to the Tetra Data Platform (TDP), so users can access them through the Tetra Data & AI Workspace. For example, you can use Embedded Data Apps to access operating system-specific applications, such as FlowJo for Windows, directly in the TDP.

For a list of available Embedded Data Apps, see Supported Data Apps.

Embedded Data App Types

There are two types of Embedded Data Apps:

• Embedded Data Apps based on Streamlit use Streamlit's open-source app framework to allow users to automatically authenticate into their Tetra Data & AI Workspace sessions through the TetraScience API.
• Embedded Data Apps based on Windows use an embedded streaming experience of the analysis application's Windows-based image, which runs in the Tetra Scientific Data and AI Cloud on dedicated infrastructure. Security patches for the images are released monthly and can be selected by editing the Embedded Data App's Image Version settings for your organization.

The user experience for each app type is slightly different, but the process for managing them is the same.

Activate an Embedded Data App

📘

NOTE

Only an organization administrator (Org Admin) can activate, edit, or deactivate an Embedded Data App.

To activate an Embedded Data App, do the following:

1. Sign in to the Tetra Data Platform (TDP) with an Org Admin role.
2. In the left navigation menu, choose Data & AI Workspace. The Data & AI Workspace page appears.
3. Select the Apps tab.
4. Next to EMBEDDED DATA APPS, select the three-dot menu icon. Then, choose Manage. The Manage Data Apps dialog appears.
5. In the dialog, select a data app to enable. For Embedded Data Apps, select which container version you want to use in the dropdown to the right in that app's row.
6. Choose Save. A new data app tile appears under the EMBEDDED DATA APPS section. Depending on the selected application (for example, an Embedded Data App based on Windows), the app may take up to 10 minutes to activate. After activation completes, the Embedded Data App is accessible to all members of your organization.

🚧

IMPORTANT

When adding a new Embedded Data App based on Windows, keep in mind the following:

• An Accept Terms dialog appears that reminds you that you must sign an addendum to your tenant’s end-user license agreement. The dialog asks you to confirm that you agree to the terms and conditions, and that all agreements have been signed.
• (For customer-hosted deployments only) Before activating an Embedded Data App based on Windows, you must configure a custom domain for your app streaming sessions. This setup prevents web browsers from blocking the apps from loading in your environment. For more information, see Deploy Apps in a Customer-Hosted Environment in the TetraConnect Hub. To request access, see Access the TetraConnect Hub.
