Univention Bugzilla – Bug 56148
webuntis-import user experience
Last modified: 2023-06-16 16:03:12 CEST
When importing data through the webuntis-import package in UMC, there is no visual feedback about the import progress to the user. So far, there is only one popup notification at the start of the import process which tells the user that the import runs in the background. From that point on, there is no further feedback until the import is finished, which can take several minutes. It would be great if there was a progress bar with an expandable logfile display that gave feedback about the import process and lets the users know that they should just wait for completion (instead of clicking "import" again and again since nothing seems to be happening) until the process has completed. Creating a modal popup with a progress bar could be really helpful in this case. Details about how our customers experience this currently can be found at https://univention.plan.io/issues/33942.
who is developoing the webunit UMC module and where is the source code for it?
The source code is located at: https://univention.plan.io/projects/27658_lhh-schulen/repository/112/show/ucs-school-umc-untis?rev=ucs-4.4/master The fact that these kinds of issues could also be coming up in other customer environments are the reason that
I'm bringing this up with you instead of having one of my SEs adding the functionality to this single script. My guess is that there could be some relevance to the product itself and not just specific use cases.

We have Bug #31554 for it but I am unsure if we will ever fix/do it. The problem in webuntis is taht the module itself is designed badly. So it should be fixed there instead of waiting for some generic functionality in UMC. But UMC also already provides something, which is not perfect but works: univention.management.console.modules.mixins.ProgressMixin.
The webuntis-import package is not part of the UCS@school product. Please create a feature request with the correct source code owner. For questions on developing UMC modules, please file an entry in the Dev Q&A: https://hutten.knut.univention.de/mediawiki/index.php/Sprechstunde_Entwicklung

I'm not sure who the correct source code owner is, hence I'd be very grateful for suggestions. Thank you.

We just had a quick chat today regarding this request specifically and the topic in general. For interested readers I would like to state that I was glad we got this report because we as DEV have the goal and and duty to provide every developer with a great platform to build software on independently of the department being in charge of this code. While it is clear that in this case the development department can help, but the actual implementation has to happen as a service for the customer as this is not part of our product, issues like this help us in understanding the needs of people working with UCS. The general request for a support of modules for better user experience like the generic progress mechanism mentioned (#31554) should be communicated and discussed with Product Management, still explicit reports are good to get a better understanding for things UCS could provide.
