Found along the bottom of your Jupyter Lab window, the information dock contains a few informative displays that are always visible throughout your JupyterLab Session

View Toggle

  • Toggling simple “on” removes tabs for just one main/active work area.

    • It is often useful to focus on a single document or activity without closing other tabs in the main work area.

    • Simple Interface mode enables this, while making it easy to return to your multi-activity layout in the main work area.

  • Also look asthetically more like a traditional Jupyter Notebook

Active Count

  • # of active kernels

  • # of active terminals

Active work area:

  • Current mode in your highlighted working area

  • Location within the active file

  • Active file name

Notifications: Notifies users of possible updates or other JupyterLab news

Code from a Console

Why run your code in a console instead of a notebook?

  • Jupyter Notebooks run code in a linear fashion, based on the explicit linear order according to the cell’s placement in the notebook.

  • There are positives and negatives associated with running the cells linearly:

    • Positives:

      • Helpful because it makes the logic of the code, and project easier to understand and visualize in a step-by-step manner.

      • Understanding the origins and processes associated with data collection, computational processes, and output become more straightforward.

    • Negatives:

      • Notebooks do NOT allow code to run functions simultaneously, even when the code natively handles it.

      • Notebooks also do NOT allow code to run based on decisions or conditional statements (such as if, if/else, or switch/case statements)

  • Code consoles allow you to run code interactively in a kernel. The cells of a code console show the order in which code was executed in the kernel, as opposed to the explicit ordering of cells in a notebook document. Code consoles also display rich output, just like notebook cells.
