Objects tabulations

Introduction

Major object types have a dedicated tabulation collection representation. These collections present the most detailled level of information about the object.

The first tab of the collection is always « properties », which presents the object properties and its relations to other object types represented as tag clouds.

The other tabs are either:

  • Tables, normally accessed trough the navigation menu, but pre-filtered to display only the information relating to the object (ex: node logs, service actions).

  • Dedicated data analysis tools (ex: service topology diagram, node statistics)

  • Dedicated design tools (ex: filterset designer)

  • A wiki editor to comment on the object (ex: node, service)

  • A change tracker allowing object changes audit and rollback (ex: form, provisioning template)

Conventions

  • The tabs are opened by clicking or double-clicking (for tag representation) the object name or id wherever it is displayed: search results, table cells, tab content, flash barel

  • The tabs are displayed in the flash header panel

  • Clicking the title of an already open tab reloads its content.
