Jobs Page

This button will open the Active Task List in a dialog box which shows a list of the Processing Tasks which are currently being processed by Activity Processing service. This can be useful as the Jobs page list can easily get populated by a large amount of Jobs and make it cumbersome to find only active Tasks, which frequently is more important to a user seeking to manage an environment.

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 Active Task List control provides a real-time, interactive view of all Processing Tasks currently in progress within the Grooper repository. It is designed to help users monitor workflow activity, track task progress, and identify bottlenecks or issues in processing jobs. The control presents tasks in a tabular format, with key details such as process, step, machine, user, start time, and elapsed time.

Overview

The Active Task List is typically shown as a dashboard panel or page, automatically updating to reflect the current set of active tasks. Each row represents a single Processing Task with columns for task ID, item name, process, step, machine, user, start time, and elapsed time. The list supports focused row highlighting and may include custom attributes for integration with scripts or client-side logic.

The Page Navigator control enables users to move between pages in a paged data set, such as search results, document lists, or any collection that supports paging. It is designed for intuitive navigation, with clear controls and keyboard shortcuts for efficient use.

UI Components

• Navigation Buttons:
  • First: Jumps to the first page.
  • Previous: Moves to the previous page.
  • Next: Advances to the next page.
  • Last: Jumps to the last page.
    Each button displays a recognizable icon and is enabled or disabled based on the current page and total page count.
• Page Number Display:
  Shows the current page number and, if available, the total number of pages. If the page count is unknown, some navigation options may be hidden or disabled.
• Caption and Title:
  Optional text elements provide context or instructions, improving accessibility and clarity.

Keyboard Shortcuts

• Ctrl + Home: Go to the first page.
• Ctrl + Left: Go to the previous page.
• Ctrl + Right: Go to the next page.
• Ctrl + End: Go to the last page.

Usage

Use the Page Navigator to quickly move through large sets of data. The control automatically manages the enabled/disabled state of each button, preventing navigation beyond the available range. When the total page count is unknown, only relevant navigation options are shown.

Accessibility

• Button icons are paired with tooltips and titles for screen readers.
• Keyboard shortcuts allow for efficient navigation without a mouse.
