View Action Information

Krish Majumdar edited this page Jul 20, 2023 · 11 revisions

This page allows users to view information about a single action. A particular action's information page may be accessed by clicking on any hyperlinked action ID, or entering the action's ID into any action ID search box.

An action's information page looks similar to the following:

View-Action-Information

The top section of the page always shows common information about the action regardless of its type - its type name, ID, the full UUID of the component on which it was performed (and a direct link to that component's information page), whether the action is part of a workflow, and details about when and by who the action's information was last modified. A button is also available for performing a new action of the same type as the one being viewed.

The second section of the page begins by displaying a green-outlined form containing the type form corresponding to the action's type, populated by any existing user-defined information. This may be followed by additional information tables, depending on the action's type - for example, 'Single Layer Tension Measurements' type actions will have tables showing which wires have been re-tensioned. Regardless of any additional information, below this is an expandable list of all versions of this action (collapsed by default), each of which can be viewed by clicking the corresponding hyperlink. Finally, this section of the page also includes buttons for editing the action's information and viewing the action's full JSON record.

Add Images to Action Record

Certain action information pages will have an additional section similar to the following, located below the green-outlined type form:

Add-Images-to-Action-Record

This section allows users to add images to the action's record. Please note that this functionality is only available for a small number of selected action types - only actions of those types will have this section displayed on their action information page. If this section does not appear on a particular action's information page, then it is of a type that does not permit images to be added.

To add one or more images, the user should press the blue [Select Images] button, which will open a dialog box to allow images to be chosen from the user's local device. Once chosen (and the dialog box is closed), the image file name(s) will be shown to the left of the selection button. Once the user is happy with their choice of image(s), they must then press the [Confirm Upload] button - this will turn green when at least one image has been selected.

Once the images are successfully added to the action's record, they will be immediately viewable in the action's gallery, which can be seen by expanding the View Gallery list below the buttons (collapsed by default). Please note that the gallery list will not be shown if there are no images currently present in the action record.

Users should avoid adding too many images to a single action record - image data is not compressed, and so a record may become too large to reliable access if too much data is contained within it. We strongly recommend no more than 5 images per record, and a maximum individual image size of no more than 1MB.
