1241760 - balrog UI rules page should separate rule items by product and channel

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering Graveyard :: Applications: Balrog (frontend), defect)

Description

[Jordan Lund (:jlund)]

during the recent Balrog UI tutorial I was thinking about a new layout for the balrog rules UI to make it easier to see which rules are related.

as a specific example:

I was thinking that the rules themselves don't need much width space so we could introduce columns and side scrolling (think trello cards)

So we could split each 'row' of rules by product (e.g. 'Firefox') and then each column in the 'Firefox' row we separate by channel, e.g. 'nightly'.


additional thoughts:
 - Since rules allow for channel globbin with a *, I suppose we would have the * based rules always at the first few columns.
 - if more than one rule has the same product and channel, we then order them by priority.

Thanks for filing! I think this is a great idea - particularly when trying to look at a channel plus its localtest/cdntest variants.

Another thing to keep in mind here is that in addition to globs, a rule with a NULL product or channel is treated the same as if it were simply "*".

This landed in production today. Thanks Njira!
