Batches Page

This button will open a dialog box dispalying a tree view of the production brach of batches. Typically, sub-folders are made in the produciton tree based on Batch Process associated with a created Batch. A user can choose a sub-folder in this window to filter the batches displayed to them in the Batch List of the Batches page.

This button will open the "Change Repository" dialog box. The Object List of this dialog box will be populated by connections to Grooper repositories established in GCC (Grooper Command Console). Selecting an entry other than the current active repository and pressing the OK button will change the environment you are viewing and interacting with for all Grooper pages to the newly selected repository.

This button will open a new tab in your browser pointed at Grooper Help. The destination within the Grooper Help page will change depending on what object you have selected in the Tree Viewer.

The Batch Manager is the primary interface for monitoring and controlling batch processing activities in Grooper.

Layout and Components

• Toolbar:
  A set of command buttons for pausing, resuming, resetting, updating, deleting, creating, refreshing, filtering, and searching batches. Each button provides uick access to common batch operations and can be hidden using the 'Hide Toolbar' property.
• Page Navigator:
  The Page Navigator control enables navigation through multiple pages of batches when the result set is large. Users can quickly move between pages using navigation buttons.
• Batch List:
  Displays a paged list of batches under the selected base folder. Users can select one or more batches, open a batch for review, and access context menu commands for batch operations. The list supports keyboard navigation and multi-selection.
• Batch Info Viewer:
  Shows detailed information about the currently selected batch, including properties, status, and processing progress. This panel updates automatically as different batches are selected.
• Search and Filter:
  The filter dialog allows users to refine the batch list by process, step, activity, or status. The search box enables quick filtering by batch name or keyword.
• Context Menu Commands:
  Right-clicking on a batch opens a context menu with additional commands, such as viewing properties, reviewing the batch, or opening it in the review page.

User Interactions

• Search and filter the batch list to quickly locate relevant batches.
• Select a batch to view its details and monitor processing status.
• Use context menus and keyboard shortcuts for efficient batch management.
• Navigate between pages of batches using the Page Navigator.

Additional Notes

• The interface is designed for both mouse and keyboard users, supporting multi-selection and context-sensitive commands.
• The page requires access to at least one batch folder in the repository.
• All batch actions and changes are retained for auditing and future reference.
