Get Started with the Jupyter Notebook

Jupyter Notebook Interface

When you enter the Jupyter Notebook lab, you will see the Notebook Dashboard, with watermarks displaying your account information and the lab launch time. In the top‑right corner, the Remaining Time timer shows the countdown of your available lab time.

Create and Open a File

To create a new file, click the New button at the top right corner and select the type of file you want to create. The new file will open in a separate browser tab.

To open an existing file, browse the Files directory and click the file name. The file will open in a new browser tab.

Load the Embedded Dataset

In a DAP lab, datasets are embedded within your workspace. Depending on how your lab is set up, you may encounter one of the following situations:

A pre-uploaded file with data-loading code

Some labs include a file that already contains the code needed to load the dataset.

To read the dataset, open the pre-uploaded file and run the code inside it to load the data into your environment.

No Pre-written File Available

If your lab does not include a preloaded data-loading file, you can write your own code to load the dataset.

For step-by-step guidance, open the Instructions panel on the lab launch page. It includes example code that you can copy into your notebook and run it to locate and load the embedded dataset.

Save a File

Click the Save icon on the Toolbar to save your work.

Or find Save, Save As, from the File menu.

You can rename your file before saving through the File menu or simply click the file name to edit it.
