[jira] [Commented] (NIFI-3539) Add "deep linking" capability to NiFi

["Andrew Lim (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3539?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15901706#comment-15901706 ] 

Andrew Lim commented on NIFI-3539:
----------------------------------

Here are my thoughts on some of the high level scenarios "deep linking" can solve, ordered by what I think is most helpful to users:

1.  Direct link to a Process Group. Probably the most useful scenario, especially to direct a user to a PG that he/she has permissions to (covered by NIFI-3035)
2.  Direct link to a component (Processor, Funnel, Port, etc); component would be centered in the canvas and appropriate zoom set
3.  Direct link to global menu windows with results sorted/filtered
4.  Direct link to a component’s Data Provenance with results sorted
5.  Direct link to a component’s Configuration with a specific tab selected
6.  Direct link to sub windows for #2
7.  Direct link to a component’s Status History

> Provide exact URLs to specific areas/views of the application.  Examples:
> -In the Data provenance window, a URL could show results for a specific search with sorting applied
> -A URL which highlights a processor, centers it in view and resets the zoom.
> -Similarly, a URL which opens the configuration window for a specific processor and takes the user to a specific configuration tab
