UC-7 Preferences palette
Description: Based on user feedback, users are not interested in opening a terminal window to administer LS functions. Tools that currently involve editing config files should be included into a gLiveSupport 'Preferences' palette. These include (but are not limited to):
references #1583
- Sound card config (including identifying which sound cards are on which channels, and playing a test sound to help users identify which outputs are connected to which devices)
- Scheduler start/stop
- Mass import
- Database backup/restore
- File parameters
- Version information
It would probably be easiest to create a Preferences palette that only would be visible/accessible to users with the proper privileges. This palette would also include the admin items currently available in the HTML UI such as: - File management
- User/group management
The 'Preferences' palette design has yet to be determined. A tab-based interface or one that launches separate popup windows may be worth exploring.
Individual functions will be described in separate use cases under UC-7.1, UC-7.2, UC-7.3, UC-7.4, UC-7.5 and UC-7.6 .
