Identify page types

00:11

Page types can be broken down into three main categories.

00:15

Each containing their own sets of customizations and views.

00:19

The three types of pages in Flow Production Tracking are entity, canvas, and URL.

00:25

First, let's talk about entity pages.

00:28

Entity pages are most likely to be the types of pages that

00:31

you look at while working in Flow Production Tracking day to day.

00:35

The types of entity pages that can be created

00:37

will reflect the available entities on a site.

00:40

Entity pages can be broken into two main types, list pages and detail pages.

00:46

List pages allow you to see information about a list of

00:50

entity records such as a list of assets or tasks.

00:54

Detail pages allow you to see information about a single

00:57

entity record such as a single shot or playlist.

01:01

Next, let's talk about canvas pages.

01:03

Canvas pages start as a blank slate or canvas without any data on them

01:08

at all that can be customized to present the information that you need.

01:12

Canvas pages are populated with widgets. A

01:14

widget is a visual element that displays information.

01:18

Flow Production Tracking's

01:19

campus pages contain a series of widgets that can

01:22

be customized to display many kinds of information.

01:26

Some of the built-in widgets include a countdown widget to mark the number

01:30

of days until an important milestone such as a project delivery or end date,

01:35

a fields widget that can display multiple fields about a single entity such

01:39

as the delivery date and most recent notes on an important client delivery,

01:43

and a thumbnail widget that can display the thumbnail image

01:46

of a single entity such as a main character asset.

01:50

Widgets can also display more detailed information.

01:53

For example, grids can display the same information as a standard entity page.

01:58

Think of a grid as a miniature version of an entity

02:01

page where many grids can be contained within a single canvas

02:05

page.

02:06

Graphs can break down information for analysis and present it in a visual way.

02:10

For example,

02:12

users can graph shots by status or tasks by assigned to grouped by status or

02:19

compare time logged on a project versus the bids for the current calendar week.

02:24

Widgets can be duplicated and rearranged to provide the best views to users.

02:29

Canvas pages are particularly helpful to get a broad overview of a project

02:33

since so much different information can be brought into a single page.

02:38

Finally, let's talk about URL pages. URL pages are simple.

02:42

They display a single URL if a team needs

02:45

consistent access to the same websites or internal resources such

02:49

as a wiki, Confluence, or Sharepoint page,

02:52

or even other Flow Production Tracking projects like. for example,

02:56

in asset library.

02:57

The URL page is a great way to keep information accessible from within

03:01

Flow Production Tracking or from within

03:03

a single Flow Production Tracking project.

03:06

URL pages can even be added into a project's navigation

03:10

menu to make accessing internal and external sites even easier.

03:15

You've now been introduced to fFlow Production Tracking's three main page types,

03:19

entity, canvas, and URL.

You've now been introduced to fFlow Production Tracking's three main page types,

entity, canvas, and URL.

Identify page types

Page types can be broken down into three main categories, each containing their own sets of customizations and views: Entity, Canvas, and URL.

Entity pages

The types of entity pages that can be created will reflect the available entities on a site.

Entity pages can be broken into two main types:

  1. List pages allow users to see information about a list of entity records, such as a list of Assets or Tasks.

    List pages

  2. Detail pages allow users to see information about a single entity record, such as a single Shot or Playlist.

    Detail pages

Canvas pages

Canvas pages start as a blank slate, or canvas, without any data on them at all, that can be customized to present the information that users need.

Canvas pages are populated with widgets. A widget is a visual element that displays information. Flow Production Tracking's canvas pages contain a series of widgets that can be customized to display many kinds of information.

Some of Flow Production Tracking's built-in widgets include:

  • A Countdown widget to mark the number of days until an important milestone, such as a project delivery or end date
  • A Fields widget that can display multiple fields about a single entity
  • A Thumbnail widget that can display the thumbnail image of a single entity

Widgets can also display more detailed information. For example:

  • Grids can display the same information as a standard entity page.
  • Graphs can break down information for analysis and present it in a visual way.

Widgets can be duplicated and rearranged to provide the best views to users.

Canvas pages are particularly helpful to get a broad overview of a project, since so much different information can be brought into a single page.

Canvas pages

URL pages

URL pages display a single URL back to users.

If a team needs consistent access to the same websites, or internal resources, such as a wiki or SharePoint, the URL page is a great resource to keep information accessible from Flow Production Tracking.

URL pages

While Canvas pages can be a lot of fun to work with, the rest of the modules in this course will focus on navigating, organizing, and formatting the two main types of Entity pages.
