[Kimchi-devel] [RFC] [Wok] Feature: User Activity Log

Fri Feb 19 15:21:32 UTC 2016

I created a new issue on Github for Wok related to the UI / front-end. I also attached a new wireframe with the proposed changes within this issue:

https://github.com/kimchi-project/wok/issues/36

Items that I need  to confirm before we start developing this screen:

-Should we create a new plugin with a tab-ext.xml file like Ginger, Kimchi and Gingerbase or make the tab hard-coded with Wok and checking if the user has access to this tab? I mean after parsing all the tab-ext.xml files from other plugins we can append a "default" string with this new tab and point the URL to wok/ui/pages or something.
-What is the new tab title? Settings? Configuration?
-Should we use the old Ginger Admin color (from the new-ui mockups created by Susan)?
-Will the API support a date range? I think we can use a single date range picker input, if we use this library: http://www.daterangepicker.com/. If we all agree with this, then I'll submit a patch ASAP before code freeze. In the new mockup I did, I used a single datepicker for each date field.
-Should we keep jQuery Bootgrid inline-search and rename it to Filter?
-Are you ok with the labels for each Plugin?

Thanks,
Samuel

Yes, it does. What about the input fields for the advanced search? And the Download button, is the placement correct or should we put a button on the top?

Hi Samuel,

Thanks for the mockups!

The "Advanced Search" should be displayed inside the "User Activity Log" 
element.

+ User Activity Log
| Advanced Search |                                                   | 
Filter|

The "Advanced Search" can continue to be an expanded area but move it inside the "User Activity Log".

Does that make sense?

Regards,
Aline Manera

One features the default jQuery Bootgrid with inline filter (I've changed the label to "filter" to match other screens and make it easier for the user to distinguish filter from search) and another one features the collapsed Advanced Search panel.

We can also use Typeahead.js when user starts typing the usernames and a Datepicker for Date. I was thinking for the Date column maybe we could use a date range instead of a single date search. In this case we would have another column in Advanced Search with another datepicker input (From - To approach).
