It shows some information about all the Center pane items, in a table. You can click on a column header in that table to sort by that column. E.g. to sort by ascending or descending processing time.
It also has a text summary of the total number of each item type.
Is there any other summary information on the items you would like to see in this window?
It would be useful to have some way to relate a row in the table to an item in the Center pane. Perhaps:
Hovering over or clicking a row in the table highlights the item in the Center pane.
Double clicking a row in the table closes the window and selects the item in the Center pane.
It looks interesting as an alternative view. In which pane will this appear, or is it a floating window?
When I saw the Status column, my first thought was whether I could click on a row to bring it up to date, if it was not. If the summary does not float over the centre pane then that is hardly necessary.
Might the columns in the Item Summary be able to be reordered? My preferred clustering would be different from the sample shown.
It is a modal window. We did think about making it a floating window that continually updates, but that is quite bit more complicated for little benefit that we can see.
It is intended as a summary, rather than something interactive. Better to do the interactions in the Center pane, I think.
We are considering allowing drag and drop re-ordering and persisting that order. If it is simple, we will probably add it.
The comments can include some more detailed information. It would be good, to have this column with automated breaking lines. So that the column don‘t get to wide.
I would like to have the comment column direct after the transaction name, would it be possible to sort them on personal preference?
It would be really nice to get a link (needs to be added in center pain) from a note to the transformation, which shown here, so that it is clear to which transformation the note is related to.
Would it be possible to see for each transformation the predecessor and the successor, based on the IDs? You would get lost in the summary, latest having parallel flows, when you done see the predecessor and the successor
In general it would be a fantastic extension of EDT for documentation.
The view should be printable (to pdf) or exportable to Excels/CSV.
Line breaks would cause some rows to be to have different heights than others, which would look horrible. But we will look into other ways of handling long comments. Tooltips, perhaps.
Yes, that should be possible.
There is no direct correspondence between notes and transforms. So that might be difficult.
Yes, we could list the input and output ids in additional columns. Or in a tooltip.
