[jira] [Commented] (NIFI-10954) Add usage access from Properties tab in component configuration view
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-10954?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel=17644351#comment-17644351 ] Pierre Villard commented on NIFI-10954: --- Yeah that's what I figured and that's why I was suggesting some kind of "shortcut" from the properties view directly to the usage view. If we can come up with a better idea, that's great. > Add usage access from Properties tab in component configuration view > > > Key: NIFI-10954 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-10954 > Project: Apache NiFi > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Core UI >Reporter: Pierre Villard >Priority: Major > > It'd be awesome to have a "Usage" icon next to the two existing icons (Verify > Properties, and Add Property) on the Properties tab of the configuration's > view of the components.

The additional details often contain valuable information that doesn't fit well into the standard fields/annotations for the Processor and its Properties. The additional details really shouldn't have contained markup/presentation logic. I wonder if we need to update something there to make the content more consumable throughout the application. > Add usage access from Properties tab in component configuration view > > > Key: NIFI-10954 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-10954 > Project: Apache NiFi > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Core UI >Reporter: Pierre Villard >Priority: Major > > It'd be awesome to have a "Usage" icon next to the two existing icons (Verify > Properties, and Add Property) on the Properties tab of the configuration's > view of the components.

Maybe displaying the additional details in a tab next to the Comments tab could be an option? Not sure though if displaying arbitrary HTML there would be good. > Add usage access from Properties tab in component configuration view > > > Key: NIFI-10954 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-10954 > Project: Apache NiFi > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Core UI >Reporter: Pierre Villard >Priority: Major > > It'd be awesome to have a "Usage" icon next to the two existing icons (Verify > Properties, and Add Property) on the Properties tab of the configuration's > view of the components.

The tooltip next to the Property name should already include all the property details from usage. We also include a short history of recent values. If there's something from usage that we could incorporate inline it may helpful and prevent the need to go back and forth. > Add usage access from Properties tab in component configuration view > > > Key: NIFI-10954 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-10954 > Project: Apache NiFi > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Core UI >Reporter: Pierre Villard >Priority: Major > > It'd be awesome to have a "Usage" icon next to the two existing icons (Verify > Properties, and Add Property) on the Properties tab of the configuration's > view of the components.
