Sidebar Configuration

Description

The TACTIC sidebar is the main menu system for navigating through the views of all TACTIC search types. The access rules applied to a specific account determine the contents of the sidebar as well as which views and search types are displayed when a user is logged in.

The items in the sidebar provide links to existing views of the different search types within a project. These views are built by your organization’s production manager based on a selection of columns (properties), layouts (order and column width) and a search. If a search view is available, it provides a dynamic report based on the definition of the search.

Users at different levels can configure the sidebar to include only those views they need, or to include views that manage items and their relationships. For example, a user may want to set up a view where only the name, code and description of their own "storyboards" as in the view. Or, the user may set up a view where, for example, only those storyboards with a name containing the word "episode" and where child tasks have a status of "review" are in the view.

The sidebar is divided into three different categories, "Project Views", "My Views" and "Admin Views".

Project Views and My Views

The Project Views provides a way to save project wide views that everyone across the entire project would want to see. It also has a manageable list of custom user views.

The Project Views can be defined by the person in the role of the project manager. Views can also be hidden from specific user groups.

My View contains a list of links to views that were created by the login user themselves. These usually are created by the user to cater to their own personal work flow.

Schema Views - The schema view provides a hierarchical view of all of the search types in a project. The schema view can be a starting point when to create a project or user view.

Project Schema

These are sTypes which are specific to the project

Config Schema

These are sTypes that come with all projects and are required for TACTIC for function.

Admin Schema

These are global sTypes that are common to all projects.

The Admin Schema appears in the schema sidebar and is accessible by users in the admin group. The Admin Schema provides access to types at the project and server level (e.g. users, groups, triggers and pipelines).
