[jira] [Commented] (NIFI-820) Provide improved provenance search functions for a component ID

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

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-820?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14967944#comment-14967944 ] 

Andrew Grande commented on NIFI-820:
------------------------------------

I'd like to keep the focus on a context menu only for now, just to reduce the scope (and have more chances of the improvement actually getting into the product :) )
Today I've got a feeling that we have everything ready for the context menu entry, while extras for auto-complete in search might need additional work.

> In terms of making provenance more accessible, it would be nice to have a provenance search via the processor context menu which auto populates the provenance with the processor ID.  Typically when I want evaluate how a processor is behaving, I have to select configure, copy ID, hit provenance, paste the component ID.
> In a related fashion, providing the functionality of the search of main workflow in the component ID field of the provenance dialog to discover component ID could also prove to be useful.
> Not sure which of these makes sense, is feasible, or is actually an improved user experience, but each feels like it could expedite the process.
