Arvados

Key features:

• View is split into four tabs for each object type. When navigating to the panel, automatically show the first tab with content.
  • Each tab has columns most relevant to that object type
• Single selection or multi selection is operated on using the toolbar. Separate "Action" column is eliminated. A right-click context menu remains as an alternative to the toolbar.
• Instead of trying to fit the description on the page, we should the first few words/sentences and the user can click on the summary description to get a popup with the full description.
• Search/sort/filter is synchronized across tabs
  • For example, if you sort by name on one tab, it is sorted by name on all the tabs for consistency.
  • If filter on a particular column, the filter is applied to all object types that have that column

These look good to me. I might think of something when I see them in Arvados WB2 but from just the mock up - they look good.

To record the answer to one question from Sarah:

When you add a filter, it should appear as a chip below the column name. The chip should have a [x] so you can easily dismiss the filter.

The chip text should show the operator and the value, for example:

(= Running [x])

or

(> 2022-02-02 [x])

Because Arvados doesn't have an "OR" operation, filters stack, so adding a filter with the same operator as an existing filter will replace that filter. Some columns (like "Status") may only have a "=" operator.
