Aldrin Piri commented on NIFI-820:
----------------------------------
Yep, what you are saying is what I was shooting for with the first suggestion.
"Context menu" in that case was the that which was activated by the right click.
The "related item" was an additional enhancement giving that "auto suggest"
type functionality that is fairly commonplace with web apps.
What I am shooting for is to just make it as easy as possible and mapping what
I *think* are easy wins with components we are already using.\ and trying to
make it all seamless as possible.
> Provide improved provenance search functions for a component ID

> In terms of making provenance more accessible, it would be nice to have a
> provenance search via the processor context menu which auto populates the
> provenance with the processor ID. Typically when I want evaluate how a
> processor is behaving, I have to select configure, copy ID, hit provenance,
> paste the component ID.
> In a related fashion, providing the functionality of the search of main
> workflow in the component ID field of the provenance dialog to discover
> component ID could also prove to be useful.
> Not sure which of these makes sense, is feasible, or is actually an improved
> user experience, but each feels like it could expedite the process.
