This app could be used as a default test- and show-case app

• Investigate use of Google Analytics
• Suggest additional usable statistics

Prepare Catwalk for a larger customer base including:

• Gather usage statistics
• Ensure we have good documentation
• Create promotion material (video/blog)

Describe how we should collect and evaluate user feedback.
Evaluate examples:

• Tooling
• Questionnaires
• Stakeholder interviews

Based on the algorithm in the prototype finalize the algorithm and decided in which order the tables and the fields should be visualized.

Suggestion to move the first table in the prototype to center of the model.

When pressing the + sign in the bottom right corner. The list with fields, dimensions and measures that appears is scrolled to the bottom. So to see additional items you have to scroll upwards as opposed to downwards.

The list is also sorted inverted.

The catwalk tagline is missing when opening catwalk without a valid websocket and no engine exists on default address

Adding new measures to the hypercube view and not only existing ones would make it more useful.

I.E being able to write sum(sales)

Add support for comparing two fields with similar content which are supposed to be associated but are not, e.g.

• dates with different formatting
• data with trailing spaces, missing spaces etc
• numbers parsed as text

Create a test tool chain with automatic linting, unit test and system test.

Describe what technologies, frameworks and design patterns to use.

E.g. Rect, Sprout, AW, Ecma X

Create script for automating testing and releasing of the tool

When opening a second listbox, the table fields are rendered in a different order.

Only one object in an app (across multiple websockets) can be in modal state. We should assume we need to end any current modal state before trying to start one to avoid states that was set in the session before catwalk connected.

app.abortModal() will end any selection state in the app, genericobject.endSelections() does the same but assumes you know which object is in the modal state (which is impossible on a fresh websocket).

We could use a legend, hover state, tooltip or something to explain what the different colors of keys mean.

When opening the app "project1" from corectl I can see my measues and dimensions, they however have no names.

Add possibility to start the tool from corectl
Example
corectl ui

If you share session without a project doing continuous reloads (on e.g. load script change), catwalk throws a reload in progress error and you have to reload the UI. It would be preferable that that we can handle this seamless, perhaps treating it as a "request aborted" and retry?

E.g. HIQ, Silén, Hedberg

Execute manual test in the full team to find missing features or bugs.

When triggering a reload in the same engine session a suspend notification is triggered in catwalk but a resume call is never issued.

While working on a project now I noticed that whenever I did a typo in my load script, I had to switch to somewhere else (i.e. terminal or websocket traffic where the reload happens) to check if it actually reloaded properly.

It would be awesome to see the reload date in the UI, preferably as "time since" instead of just a date:

Reloaded less than a minute ago
// or
Reloaded 5 minutes ago
// or when it's > an hour:
Reloaded at 2018-10-20 12:13:14

Background
What gap it fulfills
How it can be used

Create a measures component where expressions can be entered to test the data model.

In key fields, possible values are not sorted first. Non-key fields have the right sorting.

Recreate issue using demo app BranchCore.qvf:
Select value "Qlik" in company. The field fullname now shows possible values on top (as expected). However, key field entityId is not sorted with possible values on top.

Thanks for a great tool!

Create the main grid view component hosting tables, fields and their relation

Adding the possibility to resize the fields or atleast making them as wide as the widest valuse would make the tool easier to use.

Now I have to hoover over the long elements to read the value

• Find a good way to view measures in current component (pull in, modal, own component etc)
• Decide which measures should be listed (debug measures, all measures in component etc - sync with Andrée and Gabriel)

Add support for listing available applications given that you have an engine on localhost on default port and correct user access

In Firefox we receive a Security error

In Edge the app list is shown but it is not possible to open an app

Add information to all entities in the grid view describing what the entity is (e.g. primary key, field, ...) along with informative information about the entity (number of fields etc)

Similar to https://github.com/qlik-oss/core-experimenter

"When I do horizontal scrolling with trackpad (i.e. I don't click outside) it can align the filterbox weirdly. We should perhaps do a useScroll and close the filterbox just like with useClickOutside". Or provide maxWidth to selection-field component

Today we sort based on number of fields.
A better metric to determine first table is perhaps number of keys in the table as that would most likely be the fact table

Create a component hosting a list of available dimensions selected in the grid view. Allow for navigation and selection of the content

Deploy the tool to a cloud service allowing for customers to use the tool without the need to setup this on their local system.

Analyse what possibilities we have and design a new filterbox with Catwalk requirements in mind.

• Performance (with large datasets) - virtual scrolling?
• Search for existing filerbox implementations we can use
• Support for grey white green

Add a tooltip which support the amount of information we would like to convey in the the tool

Build all basic functionality for the first release of catwalk.

Currently the values in the field is sorted by the frequency. Making it possible to change sort order to numerical or alphabetical could be useful.

See attached screenshot. When hovering over a selection in the selection bar you get . .
Guessing there is some blank string value that has a appended dot to it.
Faulty text: "total of 910 values. ."

When in scrolling mode and the mouse pointer leaves the browser this happens quite often especially in large applications. See example

Currently we append frequency as "Value (3x)", it would be nice to right-align the frequency similar to how we did in QlikView.

Example: http://qlikviewcookbook.com/2015/11/a-better-show-frequency/

Create a field component with information including (but not limited to):

• Selected values vs all values
• Count / sum / frequency
• Number of null values

Goal: Release the tool to customers and gather feedback

• Support removal of individual selections
• Add support for filterbox

Using an app with data islands shows only one of them:
DMV shows:

kitty says:

When navigating in a large application the table headers will be lost when navigating down in the grid. Suggest we let them float at the top when scrolling down.

Setup the current selection component. The component should support multiple selections made in the grid view.
