Organization Preferences

The Preferences section in Organization Settings allows Admins to configure the default settings that will be automatically applied whenever any member in your Organization creates a new notebook. Setting these preferences helps streamline your workflow by pre-selecting your most commonly used configurations.

​

How it works

When you initiate the creation of a new notebook, the system will automatically populate the runtime, environment, and region settings based on the values you have saved in these preferences. You can typically still change these settings manually for any individual notebook during the creation process if needed.

​

Benefits

The following are benefits related to setting defaults in the Preferences section of Wherobots Cloud.

​

Time Savings

By setting defaults for Runtime, Environment Preset, and Region, members in your Organization can avoid repetitive configuration each time they create a new notebook. This streamlines the setup process, saving clicks and time, allowing members to get to their work faster.

​

Cost Savings

• Setting a Default Runtime (e.g., to TINY or SMALL) helps prevent accidentally starting notebooks with unnecessarily large compute resources.

​

Lower Latency

Choosing a Default Region close to your primary data sources lowers latency when notebooks read data stored in that region. Wherobots doesn’t charge for cross-region data transfer between its cloud service and Amazon S3. See Cloud and Cloud Region Availability.

​

EU Region Support

Admins can set eu-west-1 as their Organization’s default for their notebooks. This ensures new notebooks compute within the EU, which is beneficial for:

• Compliance: Meeting data sovereignty requirements like GDPR.
• Latency: Providing potentially lower latency for members or data located in Europe.
