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.
