Univention Bugzilla – Bug 55943
Improve UX for background operations
Last modified: 2023-06-14 13:03:20 CEST
For longer running background tasks in UMC, there is no useful feedback for users. Adding details about the fact that for example an import of user data from a CSV file might take a while but the user can navigate to a different site (or not) would be very useful and prevent erroneous user input (i.e. multiple clicks on the "Import" button). For imports where the user needs to stay on the same site, this information would also be very useful. Adding some sort of keepalive functionality to keep the communication channel between server and client open would help with proxied environments.
I'll remove the "Waiting Support" flag because it is a feature request.
The framework supports "keepalives" and animations to inform end users about long running tasks, and even updating information. Examples: - update process can show the logfile, which is automatically updated - complex drop-downs show a loading animation in case providing the content needs some time So I suggest to replace this very generic feature request with a report that describes the UMC module and use case where such interaction is needed. -> WORKSFORME
Thank you Ingo, I have created two separate issues for the specific details of this general issue.
