             Summary: In the Add Processor dialog, add a link to the documentation when a processor is highlighted
                 Key: NIFI-3341
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3341
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core UI
            Reporter: Andrew Lim
            Priority: Minor


The Add processor dialog only shows a processor's general description when it is selected/highlighted from the list of processors.  If a user wants more information about that processor, s/he has to either add the processor to the canvas and then select "Usage" from the right-click context menu or open up the Help documentation and then find that processor's doc.

To make this simpler, we should add a link to that processor's documentation to the Add Processor dialog.  This minimal addition will not take up much window real estate, but be very useful to NiFi users, especially those new to NiFi.
