We will be staying in Antigua. It is very cool that we get the chance to do this. I'll make sure and think of you all while I'm sitting on the beach soaking up the Caribbean sun! :D I am that first Fluxie traveling to the Caribbean, and am incredibly excited!!

Really glad you like the look. As of yesterday, Eric was getting some of the HTML and CSS from the sliced up mockup into the functioning Operations Console, so some of what you see in the mockup here on jobscheduler.com is actually starting to work. To answer your question, yes, actions can publish arbitrary messages that will be displayed on the main page (dashboard) of the Ops Console. Different built-in actions display appropriate messages. The API is flux.FlowContext.setStatus(String statusMessage). With that, any action can set any appropriate status message. About the audit trail info, yeah, we've been thinking about that along the lines of what you mentioned. One thought was to show recent audit trail events for a particular job using some kind of floating overlay on the monitor/dashboard, with a spot to click on to jump to the audit trail page for the full audit trail history for that particular job.

One word: sexy I see (below) that the SFTP action had an estimated time to completion in the 'message' field. Do actions have the ability to arbitrarily publish messages for display on the monitor? I know that the error action puts the exception message up there (if I recall correctly). Have there been any plans to make audit information easily accessible through the monitor screen? (i.e. accordian style expander that would display job history/audit history or floating overlay or something). Regardless, it looks great! I do miss Flux ;-) *small tear* Steve WOW! One word: sexy

During the mockup process, I've focused on making it easy to find the important information. I've also focused on making sure the less important information does not draw your eye away from the main page items. For example, in the next Operations Console mockup that I'm about to post, the area in the upper right-hand corner (login info, etc) is de-emphasized so users can focus on the main thing, which is the jobs listed in the table. Thanks for the colour-contrast link. I'll check it out. Kind regards, David Hi Mohan,

Information should be easy to pick out.
