/app/platform/modules sort and find features

Ignition 8.3 Early Access
1

Couple pieces of feedback on the modules page. This is a combo of enhancements and maybe a bug.

  1. What is the default sort order for the modules table?
  2. Could it be changed to Vendor Name, Module Name? Makes it easier to find non-Inductive modules.
  3. Find feature has odd behavior. At first I thought it was case sensitive because 'inductive' found nothing, but 'Inductive' found what I expected. However, 'llc' (lower case) finds all the Inductive modules which have 'LLC' as part of their name.
  4. Could the default page size be changed to 50 to make it easier to see the non-Inductive modules?

I've relayed this to the relevant team and asked them to weigh in.

  1. As of right now, we have not applied any sort to the listed Modules, and so you are seeing the order they are returned by the Gateway when we make a generic request (with a limit of 20 results).
  2. It will likely be changed to Module name before release, in order to keep the page as similar as possible to 8.1 display behaviors.
  3. This is due to a bug which we have already fixed in just the last couple of days. You will no longer encounter this behavior when using a build from beyond today.
  4. We've had this discussion internally, but I don't remember where we landed. We display all datagrids with 20 results by default just because that's what the component does when we don't explicitly change it. I'll run it by the team and see what they think. There's no reason we couldn't - but we're also fans of standardization and consistency.

Changing the default page size to 50 here makes a lot of sense to me. We know there will be >20 in many cases and the visibility of any non-IA modules is of equal importance.
