Menu Bar

The Syniti Migrate Menu Bar is visible on every page of online help. The Syniti icon in the left corner when clicked will return to Syniti Migrate Landing page. The Syniti Migrate Menu is set as a drop down list of the major sections of the application.

The Menu Bar allows the user to navigate to each functional area of Syniti Migrate including Catalog, Migrate, Validate, Monitor, and Administer. Within each of these functional areas are a vertical list of processes associated to that functional area. Upper left corner of Menu displays the Syniti icon that may be clicked from any page to return to Home Landing page. Each page of the system provides a title which describes the topic or purpose of the page.

The User Profile Setup is shown as a User Profile  icon. NOTE: Refer to section for User Profile Setup within Syniti Migrate User Interface .

Multi-panel Page

From the Syniti Migrate home page, navigate to other sub menu pages. Many pages contain multiple panels, as seen below.

There are four panels on this page, but there may be any number of panels within a page. In most cases, these panels may be sized either vertical or horizontal to adjust to view more data. Generally, the panels are dependent upon the one prior. In this example, the Datasets displayed are a list from the Release that is highlighted. The Targets are a list based upon the Datasets highlighted, and the Sources are a list from the Target highlighted. Each panel provides a count of the associated rows of that panel. From the multi-panel page, you can select fields to navigate to detail page views.

Mappings: Multi-Panel page

Panel	Location
Releases	Upper Left Panel
Datasets	Upper Right Panel
Targets	Lower Left Panel
Sources	Lower Right Panel

Within each panel, rows of that panel type are displayed and may be altered, added, deleted for that panel. The multi-panel page allows users to dive down from header into the details of the information within one page.

NOTE: All date/times are saved to the database in UTC, and then formatted in user's local time zone on the front end. The Job Queue Scheduled Jobs are stored in UTC time only.

Dialog Box

Within a page, links can open a dialog box to store details for the row of data. The wizard setup for Datasources is an example of a set of dialog boxes. A dialog box does not contain help icons, but at the page level, online help contains the details for the page and dialog boxes that display

during the use of the page.

Dialog Box: Edit

Hover and Hyper-Link Selection

Every grid list of data will provide highlighting of the rows. The selected row will highlight in a Light Blue and if the user should hover on a different row, the color of that row will change from standard Gray/White to a Lighter Blue color as shown below. Should the user click to select the highlighted row, it will then change to the Blue color and the original row will return to its original color in the grid.

Data Elements Grid:  Highlighting rows

Should a field in the grid row contain a link, then it will also change colors when the cursor is positioned over this field. Should the user click to select the link, the system will change to the linked page. See an example below:

Monitor: Metrics Scorecard: Hyper-link to Release

Sliding Divider Bar

Throughout the Migration system, pages will provide the ability to move the divider bar between panels for a Vertical break or Horizontal break.

As one example of this benefit, Dataset Design provides the user ability to move or slide the vertical page break from left to right and back. There are two images provided below to show how this functionality works for this section of Migration.

Dataset Design: Vertical page Slide

Dataset Design: Vertical page Slide

Double Click to View Details

Any row in a grid that contains details may be viewed by a Double click on the row.

Drop Down Lists

Certain fields will provide for a drop-down list option for selection of a value rather than a write in. These fields may be populated from a user built list of values stored within Administer > Advanced > Listboxes or they may be supplied as a filter view of the available values made up from the Migration data stored. These fields will display an Arrow icon to click to open the drop-down list for selection as shown below.

Subject Area: Edit: Syniti Drop Down List

Once the Arrow Icon has been clicked the list of possible entries will display. Drag the vertical bar up or down to locate the value and then click on the value to select and set it into the field.

Syniti Drop Down List: Select value in list

Font Awesome External Link icons

Certain fields will provide for a link to an external page. In this example, the Link   icon will provide access to a window of details for the associated field. As shown below, the Stakeholder field will provide both active (Dk Blue) and inactive (Gray) icons for links to the Stakeholder details window.

Dataset Design: Dataset Details: Stakeholder Details

Breadcrumb Pathways

As the user progresses into deeper details for the objects, the Breadcrumb Pathway will display each object with links to view these details. Currently, the object hierarchy exists within Dataset Design, Datasources, and ETL pages. Each leg of the path may be clicked to go to that page. These pages use Object Hierarchy:

Data Element

Dataset

Datasource

Column

Table

Instance

ETL Job List (at Dataset Level)

NOTE:  As the user scrolls down the details panel, the Breadcrumb path will remain in view.

Page Grid Options

As with any page grid of data, on the right upper corner, click the Hamburger Details icon to view the options for show or hide grid columns, reset columns, and filter rows. This is extremely handy for situations where the list of available Columns is larger than the panel can display. Once the user has determined the list of columns as a standard, that list should be present each time the user will log onto the system. The user can manage the grid by using the following options:

• Show / Hide grid columns -

• Reset Column widths

• Filter rows -

• Pin columns to side

Hamburger Details Icon

Column Grid Options

On any page with a grid of data, each column will provide an Options  icon for that column's options. Click on the Down Arrow to open the column options for Sorting, Grouping, and Pinning that column in the grid.
