CueWeb system

[marizf888]

CueWeb system (first version): The CueWeb system offers a robust set of features designed to enhance user interaction and productivity:

• User authentication: Secure login capabilities are supported through Okta, Google (Gmail), and GitHub.
• Job management dashboard: Upon logging in, users are greeted with a data table displaying their jobs. Features of this dashboard include:
  • Customizable views: Users have the ability to choose which columns are visible in the job table.
  • Job filtering: The table can be filtered based on the job state, allowing users to easily sort through active, paused, or completed jobs.
  • Job monitoring control: Users can unmonitor jobs whether they are selected, paused, finished, or include all job statuses.
  • Detailed job inspection: Clicking a button at the end of each row opens a detailed pop-up window showing layers and frames associated with that job.
  • Frame navigation: Each row in the frames table includes a hyperlink that directs to a dedicated page for that frame's data and logs, if available.
• Job search functionality: Users can search for specific jobs to monitor by typing a show name followed by a hyphen. This action triggers a dropdown menu displaying matching job entries, which can then be added to the user's table.
  • Naming convention: Jobs are expected to follow a naming pattern such as showname- followed by additional identifiers, for example, show1-shot-fake_test_job_name_123456789.
• Dark mode toggle: Users can switch between light and dark modes according to their preference.

CueWeb serves as the web-based counterpart to CueGUI, utilizing Next.js to extend the functionalities of the OpenCue system to a broader, web-accessible platform. This adaptation allows users to manage their rendering jobs conveniently through a user-friendly web interface. Key features include the ability to log in, view, and filter job data; access detailed information on layers, frames, and logs; and unmonitor jobs as needed.

The current iteration of CueWeb is designed for read-only interactions. While it enables comprehensive viewing options, it does not yet support several actions which are planned for future updates:

• Terminating jobs ("kill job")
• Handling of "dead" frames, including reprocessing ("retry dead frames") and deletion ("eat dead frame")
• Pausing and unpausing of jobs

We are actively working on including these features in future releases of CueWeb. The goal is to enhance the CueWeb system's capabilities to ensure it meets the needs of our users comprehensively. If you have specific suggestions or would like to contribute to the Opencue project to the development of these features, please refer to our contributing guidelines or contact us directly. Stay tuned to our upcoming releases for updates on these features.
